Fábio wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Fábio stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil503 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 40 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 farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Part-time carer (three months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
If you're reading this, thank you.
