Care for Roberto, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Ciudad de México
Roberto cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we are asking for $900.

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a stroke last September Roberto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Roberto 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.
Roberto worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $640
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Lucía. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
