Care for Eugene, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Manchester

Eugene can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $4,250.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After the death of his spouse Eugene can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eugene desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Eugene worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $4,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $320 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200 With deep gratitude, Heather
