Elijah wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Elijah can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Elijah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elijah 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.
Elijah worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
Thanks for reading all this.
