Home care fund for David in Montréal
Help David stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Canada8,536 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After the death of his spouse David can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and David desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
David worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610
Every share and every dollar helps.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Rooting for you, Samantha. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Nice.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montréal!
Thank you. If you're in Montréal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Sending good thoughts, Samantha. Wishing David a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Montréal.
sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hang in there, Samantha. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best
