Noah wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Noah can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $3,150.

I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a diagnosis of dementia Noah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noah 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. Noah worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $3,150 goes: β€’ Part-time carer (four months): $2,100 β€’ Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 β€’ Medication and prescriptions: $700 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
