Home care fund for Dustin in Toledo
Help Dustin stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States4,955 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a stroke last August Dustin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dustin 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.
Dustin worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Dustin?
Thank you. If you're in Toledo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Hubballi!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dustin
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

Rooting for you, Riley. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Toledo
Stay strong, Riley. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
