Home care fund for Andrea in Medellín
Andrea, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Andrea can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Andrea 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.
Andrea worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $870
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.
