I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After the death of his spouse Alejandro can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alejandro desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Alejandro worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $840 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ximena

  • best of luck, Ximena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Take care
