Care for Ezekiel, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Sheffield
Help Ezekiel stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world5,656 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Ezekiel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ezekiel 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.
Ezekiel worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $5,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $790
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Jocelyn. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Keep going, Jocelyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Allentown.
Wishing you the best, Jocelyn. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. God bless.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sheffield.
Sending strength, Jocelyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Lahore
