Home care fund for Robert in Bakersfield
Help Robert stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States2,779 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Robert can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Robert 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.
Robert 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $6,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Reading but we're thinking of you!
You're not alone. Get well soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
wishing Robert a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope things get better soon, Eva. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
