Care for Armando, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Austin

I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Armando can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Armando 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. Armando worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $5,550 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $880 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 • Part-time carer (three months): $4,220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Armando
