Care for Elena, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Valencia
Help Elena stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world2,990 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Elena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elena desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Elena worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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 $2,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
