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.

  1. 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.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($764). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
