Care for Javier, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Cali
Help Javier stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Colombia1,394 views
I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Javier can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Javier desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Javier worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Part-time carer (six months): $455
Thanks for reading all this.
