Dignity in old age: caring for Weston

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last November Weston can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Weston 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. Weston 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,000 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $700 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Part-time carer (four months): $4,010 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Peyton
