Dignity in old age: caring for André
Help André stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil509 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture André can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and André desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
André worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $400 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
