Home care fund for Desmond in Spanish Town
Desmond can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last February; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a stroke last February Desmond can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Desmond 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.
Desmond worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $770
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Thank you so much.
