I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a heart attack Itzhak can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Itzhak desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Itzhak worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $3,100 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $570 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Thank you for reading my story. - Doron

Updates from Doron

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($779 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Tel Aviv: I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. We're at 4% thanks to 5 of you. the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. More news soon.
