I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a heart attack Salvador can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Salvador 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. Salvador worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,100 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $4,100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Medication and prescriptions: $770 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Duque de Caxias

    • So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

      • Wishing you peace, Salvador. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.

        • Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out

          • keep going, Salvador. Wishing Salvador a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
