Care for Heitor, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Santos
Heitor can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,600.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil2,227 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack Heitor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Heitor 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.
Heitor worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,370
Every share and every dollar helps.
