Care for Ramón, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Medellín

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a heart attack 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 30 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 nurse, and raised 2 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 $1,850 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $180 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
