Dignity in old age: caring for Dmitry
Help Dmitry stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇦 Ukraine636 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Dmitry can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dmitry 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.
Dmitry worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you, Kateryna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 17 people at work. Love from Cairns
