Jaraguá do Sul Family Faces Challenges with Chronic Illness and Seeks Support

A family in Jaraguá do Sul is facing serious hardships due to chronic illnesses affecting its members. Rosana, 38, and her husband Alexandre, 42, are battling debilitating health conditions while trying to care for their two daughters, one of whom is a newborn. The family’s financial situation is critical, and they are asking the community for help to overcome these challenges.

Main Points

• Rosana and Alexandre face chronic illnesses and financial difficulties.
• The family depends on donations to survive.
• They do not have access to social benefits due to an employment relationship.

The Family's Daily Struggle

Rosana is the mother of two daughters, Ana, 11 months old, and a 16-year-old teenager. She suffers from psoriasis, an autoimmune disease that worsens with stress. Her husband, Alexandre, has three chronic diseases: ankylosing spondylitis, diabetic polyneuropathy and generalized osteoarthritis. He is also undergoing investigations for a new problem in his pelvis.

The lack of a source of income is making the family's life unsustainable. Alexandre does not receive any benefits from the National Institute of Social Security, and the family is accumulating debts for rent and basic bills. The need for medication for Alexandre and vitamins for Ana, who was born prematurely, makes the situation even worse.

Financial Challenges

The family does not have access to social benefits, such as Bolsa Família, due to an employment relationship that Alexandre still has with the company where he worked before his illness. This situation prevents them from receiving the necessary help.

Rosana tries to generate some income by making bread and pastries, but the difficulties are many. Caring for a husband who suffers from chronic pain and depression limits her options for working outside the home. Her eldest daughter has not yet been able to find a job to help with expenses.

Urgent Needs

The family urgently needs financial assistance to cover the following expenses:

• Paying rent and basic bills
• Medications and medical treatments for Alexander
• Food and vitamins for Ana

The situation is critical, and any help can make a big difference in the lives of this family who are struggling against adversity. The community is invited to come together and support this cause, helping them to have a little more peace of mind amidst so many challenges.
