Home care fund for Joseph in London
Joseph can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,750.

I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a heart attack Joseph can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joseph 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.
Joseph 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $275
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Anna
Small update. $3,547 so far, the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I made the first payment toward part-time carer.

Thanks for sharing this, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Take care
