I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a stroke last October Fernanda can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fernanda 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. Fernanda worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $960 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140 With deep gratitude, Camila

Updates from Camila

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($48 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
