Care for Mauricio, 81: help cover a carer and medication in La Plata
Mauricio, 81, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,500 for a carer and medicines.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina885 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last July Mauricio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mauricio desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Mauricio worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
