Sergio wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Sergio stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States3,052 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Sergio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sergio 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.
Sergio worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $5,150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $270
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,500
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
Thanks for reading all this.
