John wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
John can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $600.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a heart attack John can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and John 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.
John worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $600 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Part-time carer (six months): $480
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dallas.
Sending love. Wishing John a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
