Care for Henri, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Saint-Étienne
Henri, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,350 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Henri can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Henri desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Henri worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $380
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
