Philippe wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Philippe, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,050 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Philippe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Philippe desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Philippe worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Part-time carer (eight months): $790
With deep gratitude,
Amélie

Hope it all works out, Amélie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Marrakesh.
Stay strong, Amélie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Marrakesh.
hope things get better soon, Amélie. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Marrakesh

Take care, Amélie. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
