Irapuato
I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a heart attack Esteban can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esteban 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. Esteban worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 Every share and every dollar helps. - Esteban

  1. Small update. $276 so far, the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($387). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

  3. Quick update: $226 raised so far (13%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

      Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
