Home care fund for José in Augusta
José can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $6,300.
🇺🇸 Augusta, Georgia, United States2,819 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease José can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and José 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.
José worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $6,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $800
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $490
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
Thanks for reading all this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Davao City
Best of luck, Emiliano. Wishing José a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kasarani.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Augusta!

Shared this with my family. Thinking of Augusta.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Augusta
Good luck, Emiliano. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
