Aarón, 91, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,350 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a heart attack 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 50 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 farmer, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Thank you for reading my story.
