Help Us Get to Brazil to Care for Disabled Aunt
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Noemi. I am raising money to help my family.
In late November, my Grandmother died of a pulmonary embolism and complications from diabetes, leaving my severely handicapped Aunt Regiane alone and without a caretaker in Brasil.
I am seeking to raise funds to send my mother to São Paulo to look after my Aunt's immediate care and medical needs.
During this time, my mother will also be responsible for settling any legal, medical, or funeral expenses related to my Grandmother's death.
Along with settling expenses related to my Grandma's death, during this time, my mom must also take care of immediate medical and legal expenses related to my Aunt Regiane.
Aunt Regiane has Multiple Sclerosis, and she has severely impaired vision; she can only see with the aid of glasses.
She has been intellectually disabled since childhood with the cognition of a 7-year-old, and her intellectual disability has descended into full-scale Dementia, leaving her unable to care for herself.
As a result of her compound medical issues, the courts in Brasil have declared my Aunt Regiane "completely incapable of personally exercising the acts of civil life."
My Grandmother was the person who cared for my Aunt Regiane from day to day, but now my Aunt is alone and needs immediate help.
My biggest concern for my family is that my Aunt is alone in São Paulo, unable to be in the house unattended, and we are worried for her general safety.
As the beneficiary of this fundraiser, my mother needs to go to Brasil right away to manage her sister's medical issues and guardianship rights.
Until we can send my mother to settle my Aunt's medical and guardianship paperwork, friends and distant family are checking in on her safety and well-being until my mother can arrive.
With this fundraiser, I will pay for my mother's airplane ticket to São Paulo, ground transportation in Brasil, medical, court, and attorney or legal fees associated with both my Grandma's death and my Aunt Regine's care and guardianship- as well as food and hygiene products.
It will allow my Mom time to finalize any paperwork or details to ensure Aunt Regiane is safely cared for and that my Grandma rests in peace.
Thank you to anyone who can help. Any small donation we receive is a blessing to us.
