Home care fund for Raúl in La Plata
Raúl, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $950 for a carer and medicines.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina946 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Raúl can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raúl 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.
Raúl worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.
