Care for Ramón, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Tijuana
Help Ramón stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,498 views
I'm caring for me, who's 81. After the death of his spouse Ramón can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ramón 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.
Ramón 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 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 $1,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Ramón. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tijuana
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Fukuoka.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Take care. Wishing Ramón a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. God bless!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Cartagena donated after I showed her your page.
