Care for Jewel, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Gazipur

Jewel can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $500.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Jewel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jewel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Jewel worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $500 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Medication and prescriptions: $45 • Part-time carer (eight months): $405 Glad we found this place. - Ishrat
