James cannot afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $850.
Anywhere in the world827 views
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture James can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and James 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.
James 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
