Raquel wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Raquel stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Raquel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raquel 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.
Raquel worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Update from Belém: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Raquel
