Dignity in old age: caring for Nolan
Nolan can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $4,700.

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Nolan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nolan 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.
Nolan worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Kansas City.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kansas City.
