Home care fund for Nicolás in San Francisco
Nicolás can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $5,800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 30 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 farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $630
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
With deep gratitude,
Héctor

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Gulu.
Sending love, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of San Francisco
Thinking of you, Héctor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page.
