Care for Micah, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Fresno
Help Micah stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,892 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Micah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Micah 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.
Micah worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $1,350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
