I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After the death of his spouse 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 50 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 farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $380
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150
Thanks for being kind about this.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Catalonia. I'll ask around and let you know!
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 35 people at work. Blessings
Keep going, Rafael. Hope the doctors have good news
take care, Rafael. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning
