I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a heart attack 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 25 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 nurse, and raised 4 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 $5,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,900
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Gabriella. Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Gabriella. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Radom donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Gabriella. Wishing Noah a smooth procedure and a full recovery
keep going. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Jabalpur this morning. All the best
Take care, Gabriella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Monterrey so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Riverside.
wishing you the best, Gabriella. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you. Take care
