Home care fund for Graciela in Valencia
Help Graciela stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇪🇸 Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain1,358 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Graciela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Graciela desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Graciela worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,950
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
Thanks for reading all this.

best of luck, Paula. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 39 people at work.
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you. All the best
Stay strong. Wishing Graciela a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Zagazig.
