Gilbert wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Gilbert stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Philippines95 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse 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 40 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 bus driver, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
If you're reading this, thank you.

thanks for sharing this, Rafael. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Rafael. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon, Rafael. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
