Home care fund for Aarón in Columbus
Help Aarón stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Ohio, United States1,568 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease 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 25 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 bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $470
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Sergio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending strength, Sergio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
