Care for Sônia, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Campinas
Help Sônia stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,215 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Sônia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sônia 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.
Sônia worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145

Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
