Care for Long, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Ottawa

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a heart attack Long can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Long desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Long 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 six 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 $4,850 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $570 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $505 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Chao
