Nicolás can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nicolás can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicolás 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.
Nicolás worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,430
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Hope it all works out, Gabriel. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Chennai but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone, Gabriel. This could happen to any of us.
