Iztapalapa
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Hugo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hugo 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. Hugo 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $220 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130 Thanks for being kind about this.

          • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hugo?
