Care for Noemi, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Rome

Help Noemi stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

Rome
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Noemi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noemi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Noemi worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $270 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
