Shai wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Help Shai stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a heart attack Shai can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shai 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. Shai worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $260 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
