Home care fund for Amparo in Coyoacán
Amparo can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,700.

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Amparo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amparo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Amparo worked all of her 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Móstoles so I could bring a meal. Love from Epe
Hang in there, Amparo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Amparo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Surakarta donated after I showed her your page.
