Home care fund for Consuelo in León
Consuelo cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $1,300.
Anywhere in the world997 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Consuelo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Consuelo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Consuelo worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $1,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $880
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.
