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

I'm caring for me, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Cristian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cristian desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Cristian worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
