Care for Rebecca, 78: help cover a carer and medication in San Francisco
Help Rebecca stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Rebecca can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rebecca desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rebecca worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $2,800 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Medication and prescriptions: $720
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,820
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Rebecca. Wishing Rebecca a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.
shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mysuru this morning. All the best
Keep going, Rebecca. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Essen.
