Santarém
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a diagnosis of dementia Edilene can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Edilene desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Edilene worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $220 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
