Care for Dylan, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Allentown

Help Dylan stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a heart attack Dylan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dylan 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. Dylan worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $2,900 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $370 • Part-time carer (six months): $2,200 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330 If you're reading this, thank you.
