Home care fund for Gabriel in Nottingham
Help Gabriel stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Gabriel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriel 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.
Gabriel worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
I hope life is good to you.

so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Gabriel a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Evelyn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
