Care for Fábio, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Santos
Help Fábio stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,769 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Fábio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fábio 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.
Fábio worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175
• Part-time carer (six months): $710
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

thinking of you, Heitor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Cairo
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
hope it all works out, Heitor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Latina!
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Santos
