Dignity in old age: caring for Meir

Meir can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,750.

I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a heart attack Meir can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meir desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Meir worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,750 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $690 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $415 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out

      Rooting for you, Noam. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Liverpool donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

      • Miles D. Perry

        Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 14 people at work. Greetings from Narayanganj

        • John Paul C. Santos
