Care for Ángel, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Córdoba

Help Ángel stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last May 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 40 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 nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $800 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Part-time carer (eight months): $540 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Citlali

    So sorry you're going through this, Citlali. Shared this with my family. All the best.

    • Bruna Lúcia FonsecaQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ángel.

      • Citlali B. MorenoOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital bed and mattress rental comes first ($100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • Nnamdi Gbenga Falana

      wishing you the best, Citlali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
