Care for Sergio, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Milan

I'm caring for me, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sergio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sergio desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Sergio worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $2,750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $360 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $365 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sergio
