Campinas
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Luís can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luís 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. Luís worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $830 • Medication and prescriptions: $260 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Campinas.
