Tomás cannot afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $950.

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia Tomás can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tomás desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Tomás worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $950 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Granada.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Khulna donated after I showed her your page. God bless
praying for you, Tomás. Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Granada.
You're not alone, Tomás. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Wishing you peace, Tomás. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Stay strong, Tomás. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Praying for you, Tomás. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Leeds.
