Home care fund for Miguel in Iztapalapa
Miguel can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $1,350.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico574 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a stroke last August Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel 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.
Miguel worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,000
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Medication and prescriptions: $245
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
