Ángel can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Ángel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ángel 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.
Ángel worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $1,000 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $400
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Paloma. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of San Sebastián.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
