Home care fund for Walker in Manchester
Help Walker stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom884 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a heart attack Walker can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Walker 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.
Walker worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Valentina
Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($69 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $66 so far, the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled.

Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Manchester
Take care, Valentina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. God bless.
Good luck, Valentina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Sending strength, Valentina. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
