Care for Renato, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Londrina
Renato can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Renato can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renato 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.
Renato 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 four 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 $1,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
