I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Murilo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Murilo 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.
Murilo worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,600
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Tatiane
Quick update: $695 raised so far (37%). I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($346). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

Stay strong, Tatiane. Hope you get there. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you, Tatiane. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thinking of you and your family, Tatiane. Wishing Murilo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Tatiane. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Good luck, Tatiane. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
