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.

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