Care for Randall, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Jacksonville

Help Randall stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Randall can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Randall 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. Randall worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $3,800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,800 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 • Medication and prescriptions: $630 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

          Hang in there, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Derry.

            Hope it all works out, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
