I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Everett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Everett 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.
Everett 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 four 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 $1,350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $590
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Medication and prescriptions: $565
Thank you so much.
Updates from Alice
Good news. Because of your gifts ($412 in total) the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Alice. Shared this with my family
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Fort Worth.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Nairobi.
Sending good thoughts, Alice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Fort Worth
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Fort Worth
