Gabriel wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Gabriel can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $1,800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last April Gabriel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriel 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.
Gabriel worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.
