Raphaël, 86, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $950 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After the death of his spouse 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 25 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 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $820
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
