I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Logan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Logan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Logan worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $720
Thank you so much.
Updates from Vivian
Update from Glasgow: the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. We're at 50% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($764). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Glasgow
Thank you. If you're in Glasgow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
