Home care fund for Iván in Cartagena
Help Iván stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia1,070 views
I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a stroke last August 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 50 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 seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $175
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140
• Part-time carer (four months): $685
Thank you for reading my story.
