Dignity in old age: caring for Miguel
Miguel, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,100 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a stroke last October Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Miguel worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Part-time carer (eight months): $920
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
