I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Nicolás can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicolás desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Nicolás worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,800 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 Thank you so much.

Updates from Manuel

Update from Iztapalapa: I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
