Kevin wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Kevin cannot afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Kevin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kevin 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.
Kevin worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
