La Plata

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last September Víctor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Víctor 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. Víctor worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 (six months): $1,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $180 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Salvador
