Antonio wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Antonio can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $2,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Antonio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Antonio 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.
Antonio worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,625
With deep gratitude,
Iván
