Wei wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Wei stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada2,403 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a heart attack Wei can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wei desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Wei worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $4,200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,500
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
