Care for Verónica, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Iztapalapa
Verónica, 75, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $400 for a carer and medicines.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico776 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Verónica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Verónica desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Verónica 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 six 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 $400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Medication and prescriptions: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145

So sorry you're going through this, Héctor. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Héctor. Wishing Verónica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Coventry.
