Dignity in old age: caring for Corazon
Corazon, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $700 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Corazon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Corazon desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Corazon 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts, Dante. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Negombo so I could bring a meal.
sending good thoughts, Dante. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
So sorry you're going through this, Dante. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Móstoles
Wishing you the best, Dante. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
