Help Rosângela stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After the death of her spouse Rosângela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rosângela desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rosângela 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 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 $1,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts, Larissa. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Mumbai
Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Hanoi but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Brasília
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Soweto.
Wishing you peace, Larissa. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Cairo
