Care for Viviane, 89: help cover a carer and medication in São Paulo
Help Viviane stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Viviane can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Viviane desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Viviane worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $1,250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Part-time carer (three months): $820
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
