Débora wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Débora, 88, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,650 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last January Débora can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Débora desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Débora worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Luana. This could happen to any of us
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Luana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Stay strong, Luana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Sending strength, Luana. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going, Luana. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page. God bless
