Home care fund for Simone in Contagem
Simone can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,300.
🇧🇷 Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil539 views
I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Simone can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Simone desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Simone worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $1,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $930
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Simone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Casablanca.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Shared this with my family. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Simone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Contagem
Wishing Simone a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Contagem
