Home care fund for Ryan in Manukau
Help Ryan stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇿 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand1,208 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Ryan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ryan 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.
Ryan worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
If you're reading this, thank you.
