Home care fund for Henry in Fort Collins
Henry can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $5,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Henry can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Henry 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.
Henry worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $5,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Thank you for reading my story.

good luck, Caroline. Get well soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Hope it all works out, Caroline. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hang in there, Caroline. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mansoura
