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. - Clément

      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.
