Home care fund for Rafael in San Jose
Rafael can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $6,850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Rafael can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rafael 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.
Rafael worked all of his life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $6,850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $720
• Part-time carer (four months): $5,750
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of San Jose.
Thinking of you and your family, Ramón. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of San Jose.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
stay strong, Ramón. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you
