Care for Enrique, 81: help cover a carer and medication in San Nicolás de los Garza
Help Enrique stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 25 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 nurse, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,150
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
Thinking of you, Enrique. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 18 people at work.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Grand Rapids.
