Home care fund for Fábio in Porto Alegre
Fábio can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $1,250.
🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil2,152 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a stroke last August 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 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $910
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
If you're reading this, thank you.
