Care for Ramón, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Guadalajara
Help Ramón stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico1,220 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 (four months): $1,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
Thank you for reading my story.

hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family, Isabel. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from San Diego.
