Care for Emiliano, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Medellín

Emiliano, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $250 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Emiliano can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emiliano 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. Emiliano 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

    Keep going, Citlali. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      Sending strength, Citlali. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning. God bless.
