Isaiah wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Isaiah stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom2,740 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Isaiah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isaiah 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.
Isaiah worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Weston
Update from Sheffield: the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. We're at 51% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($693). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

wishing you the best, Weston. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Sheffield.
