Sebastian wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Sebastian stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,961 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Sebastian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sebastian desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Sebastian worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,950
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Ryan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Santos!
Sending good thoughts, Ryan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Rooting for you, Ryan. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 40 people at work
hope things get better soon, Ryan. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
