I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Oliver can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Oliver desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Oliver worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,500 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,850 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Wishing you the best, Nevaeh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Thanks for sharing this, Nevaeh. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Love from The Hague

      • Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. God bless

        • Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Grand Rapids.
