I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a heart attack Salvador can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Salvador desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Salvador worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Part-time carer (four months): $980
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95

Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings!
Thinking of you, Lucía. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
