Gilbert wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Gilbert can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a stroke last September Gilbert can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gilbert 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.
Gilbert worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $710
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Imelda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 26 people at work
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Girona.
Wishing Gilbert a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Cebu City.
Rooting for you, Imelda. Wishing Gilbert a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
