Tejas wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Tejas can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 82. After the death of his spouse Tejas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tejas 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.
Tejas 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 six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 9 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Stay strong, Tejas. Wishing Tejas a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
