Cooper wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Cooper stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After worsening Parkinson's disease Cooper can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cooper desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Cooper worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 70% funded and I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.

Sending good thoughts, Gianna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Chicago but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Gianna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
rooting for you, Gianna. This could happen to any of us.
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Toronto.
