Care for Renata, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Barranquilla
Help Renata stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia1,328 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Renata can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renata desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Renata worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $660
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
