I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel 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. Miguel worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Álvaro

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (six months), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.

  • Hang in there, Álvaro. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
