I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Charles can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Charles desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Charles worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $6,700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Medication and prescriptions: $910 • Part-time carer (six months): $5,520 Every share and every dollar helps. - Charles

Updates from Charles

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($5,010 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,607 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($959 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Charles?

      Thank you. If you're in San Diego I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
