I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After the death of his spouse Grayson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Grayson 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.
Grayson 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 three 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 $3,450 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Shawn
Update from London: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($279). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
