Home care fund for Francisco in Tehuacán
Francisco, 86, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,950 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Francisco can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Francisco desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Francisco worked all of his 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165
Thanks for being kind about this.

Any update on how things are going in Tehuacán?
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Mapo this morning.
Hope it all works out, Francisco. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Love from Los Angeles
what exactly is the $1,950 for?
sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Tehuacán
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!
Thinking of you, Francisco. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. Love from Quezon City
hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Take care, Francisco. Get well soon. Blessings.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
