Care for Enzo, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Santos
Enzo can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $450.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Enzo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Enzo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Enzo worked all of his 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
• Medication and prescriptions: $185
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength, Fernando. Hope this works out for you. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
