Home care fund for Viviane in São Paulo
Viviane cannot afford the care She needs after a stroke last February; we are asking for $1,900.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil2,112 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a stroke last February Viviane can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Viviane 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.
Viviane worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending love, Leonardo. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
