Care for Enrique, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Tarragona
Enrique, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,050 for a carer and medicines.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain2,437 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Enrique can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Enrique 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.
Enrique 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 $1,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $560
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.
