Home care fund for Gabriel in Tampa
Help Gabriel stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world2,006 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. 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 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 $5,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $320
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610
With deep gratitude,
Eleanor
