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.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil1,771 views
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
