Dignity in old age: caring for Aarón

Aarón can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Aarón can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarón desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Aarón worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,200 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $460 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Take care, Antonio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

    • Amparo K. González

      You're not alone, Antonio. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you. Take care.

      • Festus Paul Nwachukwu

        good luck, Antonio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Riverside.
