Home care fund for Beatriz in Olinda

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Beatriz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatriz desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Beatriz worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 If you're reading this, thank you. - Maria
