Care for Soledad, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Córdoba
Help Soledad stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,345 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a heart attack Soledad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Soledad desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Soledad worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $3,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,550
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Soledad a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update
Praying for you, Adriana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending love, Adriana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Gangnam
