Home care fund for Renata in San Nicolás de los Garza
Renata can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,650.
🇲🇽 Mexico2,085 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Renata can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renata desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Renata worked all of her 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
