Dignity in old age: caring for Gabriel

Gabriel can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $2,300.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last March Gabriel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriel 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. Gabriel worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $2,300 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
