Rafael wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Rafael stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Rafael can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rafael 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.
Rafael 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 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 $5,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $670
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180
I hope life is good to you.

keep going, Eduardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Eduardo. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Gazipur.
sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
