Weston wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Weston can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,750.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Weston can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Weston 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.
Weston worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $1,750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $760
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Celaya so I could bring a meal.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Rome
Thinking of you and your family, Rylee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
