Home care fund for Elias in Liverpool
Help Elias stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Liverpool, England, United Kingdom3,642 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After the death of his spouse Elias can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elias 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.
Elias 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 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 $2,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
If you're reading this, thank you.
