Silas wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Silas stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States1,669 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a stroke last August Silas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Silas desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Silas worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Frankfurt.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Lapu-Lapu so I could bring a meal.
