Home care fund for Tyler in Los Angeles
Tyler can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,750.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Tyler can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tyler 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.
Tyler worked all of his life as a nurse, 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 $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $940
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing Tyler a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Mason. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Best of luck, Mason. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
