Johan can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $4,950.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Johan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Johan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Johan worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $280
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $470
If you're reading this, thank you.
