Liam wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Liam stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States806 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Liam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Liam 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.
Liam worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $640
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Asher
Quick update: $86 raised so far (5%). the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $352 so far, I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. - Asher
Good news. Because of your gifts ($463 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good luck, Asher. Wishing Liam a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mardan.
Rooting for you, Asher. Hope this works out for you.
Best of luck, Asher. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Good luck, Asher. Hope you get there. Thinking of Pittsburgh.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
