Help Iván stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

Aurora
I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Iván can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Iván desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Iván worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $6,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $820 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410 With deep gratitude, Leonardo
