Home care fund for Bo in San Jose
Help Bo stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States2,656 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Bo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bo 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.
Bo worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $4,250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $670
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Peshawar but we're thinking of you. Blessings
hope it all works out, Cheng. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Anaheim.
Sending strength, Cheng. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
