Home care fund for Ximena in Cali
Help Ximena stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia588 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Ximena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ximena desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ximena worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (six months): $600
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
Thanks for reading all this.
