I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Julián can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Julián 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.
Julián worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,090
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Ikeja
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Madrid
This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from London!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Milan.
