According to Zé Ricardo, her mother was very sick in bed, wearing diapers and having to be fed by him. “She could no longer sit alone, I was the one who bathed her, changed her diaper, put her in a wheelchair, cleaned the house and still had to leave her at home for hemodialysis three times a week”, wrote Zé.
