Home care fund for Mateus in Santos
Mateus cannot afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we are asking for $1,750.

I'm caring for me, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Mateus can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mateus desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Mateus worked all of his life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Feira de Santana so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Thinking of you. Wishing Mateus a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Edmonton so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Mobile.
Sending strength, Mateus. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Marseille donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
