Care for Verónica, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Guadalajara
Verónica can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,500.
🇲🇽 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico1,398 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. 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 25 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 carpenter, and raised 3 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 $1,500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.
