Care for Antonio, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Córdoba

Antonio cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last February; we are asking for $2,700.

Córdoba
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last February 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 30 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 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $2,700 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $500 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $455 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Lucía

Updates from Lucía

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,044 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $321 raised so far (12%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
