Care for Víctor, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Palmira
Help Víctor stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Valle del Cauca, Colombia1,108 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a heart attack Víctor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Víctor desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Víctor worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
