Dawid wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Dawid stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom6,619 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After the death of his spouse Dawid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dawid 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.
Dawid 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 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 $4,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love. Wishing Dawid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
praying for you, Igor. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dawid
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (four months) comes first ($3,600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Leicester.
Take care, Igor. Hope you get there. All the best.
how is Dawid doing now?
Stay strong, Igor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hang in there, Igor. Hope you get there. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Leicester.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Stay strong, Igor. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
