Care for Roman, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Buffalo
Roman can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Roman can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Roman desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Roman worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $270
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
