Care for Ryan, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Fresno
Ryan can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $4,050.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Ryan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ryan 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.
Ryan worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Ryan. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Ryan. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Lagos
