Home care fund for Eugene in Fort Worth
Eugene cannot afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $4,950.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States907 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Eugene can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eugene 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.
Eugene worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $630
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Alexander. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from San Francisco
Take care, Alexander. Get well soon. We're a small family in Tallahassee but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Tallahassee.
Thinking of you and your family, Alexander. Wishing Eugene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Fort Worth
