Ronaldo wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Ronaldo can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Ronaldo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ronaldo 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.
Ronaldo worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $1,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Débora. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hang in there, Débora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Rooting for you, Débora. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Lecce this morning. Greetings from Lecce.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
