I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Jaxon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jaxon 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.
Jaxon worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $600
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

this could happen to any of us. Sent it to 29 people at work. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Delilah. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings!
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Delilah. Wishing Jaxon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Keep going, Delilah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
