Care for Joshua, 75: help cover a carer and medication in San Diego

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Joshua can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joshua 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. Joshua worked all of his life as a nurse, 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 $1,150 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $380 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Zoey
