Móstoles
I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a stroke last June Héctor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Héctor desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Héctor worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $4,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $325 Thanks for being kind about this. - Valentina

    Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
