Home care fund for Christopher in Toronto
Help Christopher stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada1,201 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Christopher can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Christopher 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.
Christopher worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Brenda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Oakland.

So sorry you're going through this, Brenda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Nairobi.
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Toronto!

You're not alone, Brenda. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
