Home care fund for Hugo in Iztapalapa
Help Hugo stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico2,204 views
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.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hugo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (eight months), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Best of luck, Adrián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Kano
