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

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a heart attack Rony can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rony 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.
Rony worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $410
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

how is Rony doing now?
Good luck, Bappy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Jose.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. God bless
