Cris cannot afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $150.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Cris can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cris desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Cris worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lagos
Thinking of you, Rolando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hang in there, Rolando. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Rolando. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
rooting for you, Rolando. Wishing Cris a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update.
