Care for Manoel, 83: help cover a carer and medication in São Paulo

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a heart attack Manoel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manoel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Manoel worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $450 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 With deep gratitude, Manoel
