Care for Gianna, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Arlington
Gianna can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last November; we're asking for $5,850.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a stroke last November Gianna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gianna 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.
Gianna worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490
Thank you so much.
