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. - Raquel

Updates from Raquel

  1. Update from Belém: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. 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
