Campinas
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Carlos can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carlos desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Carlos worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 • Part-time carer (four months): $1,050 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125 Thanks for reading all this. - Francisca

Updates from Francisca

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($18 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
