Home care fund for Tiago in Curitiba
Help Tiago stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,334 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tiago can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tiago desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Tiago worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $550 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Medication and prescriptions: $225
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Antônia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta
Keep going, Antônia. Wishing Tiago a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
Best of luck, Antônia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Curitiba

Wishing Tiago a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Marrakesh donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
