A Brazilian man plans to drive a specially equipped motorhome from Florida to Brazil because he cannot afford the $50,000 to $200,000 cost of an air ambulance for his wife, who is in a vegetative state. He estimates the adapted vehicle will cost about $40,000 and the 6,800 km journey through ten countries could take 50 days, starting in November. The family has been living in the U.S. since 2019 and faces financial strain after he left his job as a truck driver to provide full-time care.
