Help Jack stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

New Orleans
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Jack can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jack 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. Jack worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $660 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Jack

        Hope it all works out, Jack. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
