Care for Camilla, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Rome
Help Camilla stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Italy4,324 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a stroke last August Camilla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Camilla desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Camilla worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Camilla.
Medication and prescriptions is $510 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing Camilla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Munich.
Stay strong, Concetta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Birmingham.
how is Camilla doing now?
Stay strong, Concetta. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Hang in there, Concetta. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Camilla?
hang in there, Concetta. Hope the doctors have good news.
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
sending love, Concetta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Breda donated after I showed her your page. Love from Breda.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Rome.
Praying for you, Concetta. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
