Camila wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Camila can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a stroke last April Camila can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Camila 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.
Camila worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $800
• Medication and prescriptions: $175
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
With deep gratitude,
Camila

Rooting for you, Camila. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro
