Mexicali
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Rubén can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rubén desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Rubén worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $1,500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 Thank you so much.

      Good luck, Santiago. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too

      • Samanthi Rajapaksa

        You're not alone, Santiago. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mexicali.

        • Allison Woods

          Thinking of you and your family, Santiago. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.

          • Zbigniew Zbigniew Witkowski

            Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
