Home care fund for Vanessa in São Paulo
Help Vanessa stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil2,671 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Vanessa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vanessa 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.
Vanessa worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
Thank you for reading my story.
