Home care fund for Leonardo in Campinas
Leonardo can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $450.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil282 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Leonardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Leonardo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Leonardo worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $195
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Aparecida. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Campinas.
