Care for Antonio, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Ciudad de México
Help Antonio stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México, Mexico2,273 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse 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 50 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 bus driver, and raised 4 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 $2,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $225
Glad we found this place.
