I'm caring for me, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Mónica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mónica desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Mónica worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $870 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 Glad we found this place.

      keep going, Mónica. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Coyoacán but we're thinking of you. All the best.
