Adriana wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Adriana stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,000 views
I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a diagnosis of dementia Adriana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adriana desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Adriana worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $1,500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
