Lloyd can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,450.

I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a heart attack Lloyd can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lloyd 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.
Lloyd worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,270
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Lloyd
Small update. $412 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Update from Spanish Town: we've started the first stage. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Best of luck, Lloyd. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Multan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Multan.
