Petrópolis

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After the death of her spouse Heloísa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Heloísa 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. Heloísa worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $550 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
