Rocío wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Rocío, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,850 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a heart attack 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 25 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 farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rocío
Hang in there, Cristina. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you
Hang in there. Get well soon. All the best.
Praying for you, Cristina. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Tlaquepaque.
