Fábio wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Fábio stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Fábio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fábio desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Fábio worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Juazeiro do Norte!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (four months), advice is welcome too. Good question.
keep going, Mateus. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
sending strength, Mateus. Hope you get there. Thinking of Juazeiro do Norte.
Keep going, Mateus. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending love. Wishing Fábio a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Best of luck, Mateus. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Juazeiro do Norte
rooting for you, Mateus. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Yogyakarta but we're thinking of you
