Dennis wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Dennis can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $900.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After the death of his spouse Dennis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dennis 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.
Dennis worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Part-time carer (three months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
Thanks for being kind about this.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Bacolod.
stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
