Louis can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $5,050.

Paris
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Louis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Louis 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. Louis worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,050 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $480 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Praying for you, Monique. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Chicago but we're thinking of you. Love from Chicago.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Louis

      • Monique DenisOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

        Part-time carer (six months) is $3,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
