Care for Carolina, 87: help cover a carer and medication in São Paulo

Help Carolina stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a heart attack Carolina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carolina 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. Carolina worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 With deep gratitude, Caio

    Take care, Caio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Latina.
