Home care fund for Alejandro in Dayton
Alejandro can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $5,750.

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.

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

Praying for you, Ximena. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Bristol
