Home care fund for Raymond in Los Angeles
Help Raymond stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world2,242 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last June Raymond can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raymond 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.
Raymond worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $4,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $550
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
