Felix wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Felix can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $2,900.

I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a heart attack Felix can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Felix 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.
Felix worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $2,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Felix. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
sending good thoughts, Felix. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
Keep going, Felix. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Bangkok.
thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Guarulhos this morning.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best
hope it all works out, Felix. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
