Petrópolis
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Fabiana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fabiana desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Fabiana worked all of her 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $400 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Medication and prescriptions: $155 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Elaine
