Care for Noah, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Leicester
Noah can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $4,850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Noah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noah 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.
Noah worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $460
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Leicester.
Sending good thoughts, Mackenzie. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Semarang but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. After 24 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
