Home care fund for Wellington in São Paulo
Wellington can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Wellington can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wellington 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.
Wellington worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
