Home care fund for Greyson in Birmingham
Help Greyson stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,948 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Greyson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Greyson 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.
Greyson 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $550
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,950
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck, Nicholas. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thinking of you, Nicholas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Nicholas. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Thinking of Birmingham.
So sorry you're going through this, Nicholas. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Nicholas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
Sending love, Nicholas. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
