Parker can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a heart attack Parker can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Parker 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.
Parker worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

keep going, Eliana. Wishing Parker a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope you get there. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Jose
Thanks for sharing this, Eliana. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you. Thinking of San Jose
Rooting for you, Eliana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Salem.
wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Hamilton so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Jose
Good luck, Eliana. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hang in there, Eliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Guadalupe donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San Jose
Wishing you peace, Eliana. This could happen to any of us.
