Luis wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Luis stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇪🇸 Catalonia, Spain1,805 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After the death of his spouse Luis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luis 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.
Luis worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luis.
Part-time carer (six months) is $3,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Best of luck, Sebastián. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Móstoles.
sending good thoughts, Sebastián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Sebastián. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update!
