I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a stroke last March Guillaume can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Guillaume 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.
Guillaume worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $445
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Guillaume.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (four months) is the big one at $3,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
praying for you, Clément. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Manchester.
