Logan can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $2,650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack Logan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Logan 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.
Logan worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $790
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,440
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you, Riley. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Nakhon Ratchasima but we're thinking of you
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Hialeah!
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Tokyo
