Care for Andrés, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Málaga
Andrés can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $1,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a stroke last March Andrés can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Andrés desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Andrés worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
Thanks for being kind about this.
