Home care fund for Luca in London
Luca can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $4,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Luca can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luca 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.
Luca worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $790
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,750
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Regensburg.
Sending good thoughts, Jayden. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of London.
Wishing you peace, Jayden. Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
