Campinas
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last July Valentina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Valentina 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. Valentina worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $730 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 Thanks for reading all this.

    Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Amna Amna Jatoi

      Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Cluj-Napoca so I could bring a meal

      • Piper H. Jones

        Best of luck, Viviane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        • Sari Lestari Setiawan

          Good luck, Viviane. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
