Rocío wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Rocío stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇦🇷 Argentina2,329 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Rocío can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rocío 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.
Rocío worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
• Part-time carer (eight months): $940
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending good thoughts, Rodrigo. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Córdoba.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Leicester
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hang in there, Rodrigo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from León
