I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Juliana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Juliana desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Juliana worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
• Part-time carer (eight months): $880
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Niterói.
Thank you. If you're in Niterói I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Hope it all works out, Sérgio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Sending love, Sérgio. Looking forward to the next update
wishing you peace, Sérgio. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Niterói.
Sending love, Sérgio. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Fort Worth.
