Home care fund for Harold in Dallas
Harold cannot afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $5,950.
🇺🇸 United States4,191 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Harold can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Harold desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Harold worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,950 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $560
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,960
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Beth. Get well soon
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Beth. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Rooting for you, Beth. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
wishing you peace, Beth. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Córdoba
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Dallas
Rooting for you, Beth. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. All the best.
