I'm caring for me, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Santiago can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Santiago desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Santiago worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
