Care for Matthew, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Sacramento

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Matthew can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Matthew 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. Matthew worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,650 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $330 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380 Every share and every dollar helps.
