Home care fund for Priscila in Curitiba
Help Priscila stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil555 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Priscila can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Priscila 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.
Priscila worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $660
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Cláudio. Hope you get there. Thinking of Curitiba
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Curitiba.
So sorry you're going through this, Cláudio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Cláudio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Cláudio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Lalitpur this morning. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Priscila a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Da Nang
