Nuria wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Nuria stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇨🇴 Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia990 views
I'm caring for me, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nuria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nuria desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nuria worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $900 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $160
• Part-time carer (six months): $680
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Nuria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Surabaya but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Nuria. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nuria!
It's all in the list in the story. hospital bed and mattress rental is the big one at $60, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bucaramanga.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Saint-Denis
Hang in there, Nuria. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Nuria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
