Home care fund for Luciana in São Paulo

I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 25 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 carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $660 • Medication and prescriptions: $150 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Thanks for reading all this. - Luciana
