Care for Inés, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Bogotá
Inés can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,100.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia483 views
I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Inés can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Inés desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Inés worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Part-time carer (four months): $955
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Inés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Giza
Hope things get better soon, Inés. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Love from Leeds.
Take care. Wishing Inés a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
Keep going, Inés. Your post was clear and honest.
