Home care fund for Amparo in Guadalupe
Amparo can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,700.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,611 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a heart attack 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 40 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 farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $175
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Irene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you.
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Irene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Guarulhos
