Care for Esteban, 94: help cover a carer and medication in San Diego
Esteban can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $900.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. 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 25 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 schoolteacher, 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 $900 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
I hope life is good to you.
