I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last May Ángel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ángel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Ángel worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $1,550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,400 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Guadalupe

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Boston.

          Best of luck, Guadalupe. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

            Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Tlaquepaque this morning. Blessings.
