Care for Eduardo, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Belo Horizonte
Help Eduardo stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil3,122 views
I'm caring for me, who's 91. After the death of his spouse Eduardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eduardo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Eduardo worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
