Care for Adrián, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Celaya
Help Adrián stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 MexicoPosted Oct 1, 2026906 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Adrián can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adrián 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.
Adrián worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $1,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165
Thank you for reading my story.
