Dignity in old age: caring for Javier

Javier, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,200 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Javier can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Javier desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Javier worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $175 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 • Part-time carer (six months): $870 Thanks for being kind about this. - Valentina

    Outstanding person

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Delivered on promises

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Hang in there, Valentina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Mangesh D. Thakkar

      Good luck, Valentina. Wishing Javier a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Celaya
