Home care fund for Luciana in Olinda
Help Luciana stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil1,315 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a stroke last December Luciana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luciana desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Luciana worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $970
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Medication and prescriptions: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.
