Dignity in old age: caring for Wyatt
Help Wyatt stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia2,067 views
I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a heart attack Wyatt can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wyatt 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.
Wyatt worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,260
Thank you so much.

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending love. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Kampala.
Hope it all works out, Wyatt. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Jakarta!
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kanpur
