Víctor wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Víctor can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a heart attack Víctor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Víctor 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. Víctor worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $890 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 Thank you so much.

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (four months), advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
