Levi wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Levi can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,550.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Levi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Levi 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.
Levi worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,690
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Cora. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Jinja.
