Home care fund for Josefa in El Paso
Josefa, 83, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,150 for a carer and medicines.
🇺🇸 El Paso, Texas, United States3,297 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last March Josefa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Josefa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Josefa worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $560
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Nicolás. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Brisbane
thanks for sharing this, Nicolás. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bang Khen.
So sorry you're going through this, Nicolás. Wishing Josefa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page
hope it all works out, Nicolás. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
