Home care fund for Noel in Brooklyn
Noel, 95, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,450 for a carer and medicines.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States3,729 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After the death of his spouse Noel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Noel 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
Every share and every dollar helps.
