Care for Declan, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Sacramento
Help Declan stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States636 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Declan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Declan 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.
Declan worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Mthatha so I could bring a meal
You're not alone, Allison. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Sacramento.
