Home care fund for Marisol in La Plata
Help Marisol stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇦🇷 Argentina1,813 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Marisol can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marisol desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Marisol worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $170
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Athens.
Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Embakasi.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Take care, Laura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update!

Sending good thoughts, Laura. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of La Plata.
Take care, Laura. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of La Plata
