I'm caring for me, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Yves can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yves 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. Yves worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $3,100 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $430 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200 Thank you for reading my story. - Yves

  1. 10% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Update from Brest: we've started the first stage. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($58). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
