Care for Raphaël, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Paris

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Raphaël can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raphaël 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. Raphaël worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $710 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260 With deep gratitude, Valérie
