Vitória da Conquista
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After the death of her spouse Tatiane can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tatiane 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. Tatiane worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $750 • Medication and prescriptions: $200 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 With deep gratitude, Marcos
