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

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tayo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tayo 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.
Tayo worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Small update. $148 so far, the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
