Care for Rafaela, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Feira de Santana

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a heart attack Rafaela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rafaela desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Rafaela worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $770 • Medication and prescriptions: $160 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ana
