I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Luis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luis desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Luis worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,650
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Adrián. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Adrián. Hope this works out for you. Love from Bhaktapur.
You're not alone, Adrián. This could happen to any of us.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Móstoles.
Thinking of you, Adrián. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Thinking of you, Adrián. Hope you get there.
Wishing you peace, Adrián. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Denver.
Wishing Luis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Móstoles
