Care for Rafaela, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Curitiba
Help Rafaela stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture 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 50 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 carpenter, and raised 3 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 $1,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
I hope life is good to you.

I hope things turn around soon. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Bang Khen.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Kano so I could bring a meal.
shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Blessings.
