Home care fund for Micah in Leeds
Micah can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $1,550.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,966 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Micah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Micah desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Micah worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $1,550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $870
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Osaka.
Thinking of you, Levi. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
keep going, Levi. Hope you get there. Thinking of Leeds
