Emiliano, 81, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,550 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease 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 25 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 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 $3,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
