Manoel wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Manoel stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil1,569 views
I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a stroke last August Manoel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manoel 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.
Manoel worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175
• Part-time carer (six months): $550
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Manoel. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Campinas

sending love, Manoel. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Best of luck, Manoel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Campinas.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Moscow
