Care for Jose, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Sacramento
Jose cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last November; we are asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a stroke last November Jose can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jose 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.
Jose worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.
