Dignity in old age: caring for Consuelo
Help Consuelo stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico1,658 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a stroke last August Consuelo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Consuelo 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.
Consuelo worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210
• Part-time carer (four months): $960
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
