Home care fund for Gabriel in Tampa

Help Gabriel stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

Tampa
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
