Care for Simone, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Padua

Simone, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Simone can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Simone desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Simone worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $2,450 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $550 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,700 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200 Glad we found this place. - Ginevra

Updates from Ginevra

  1. Quick update: $508 raised so far (21%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($323 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
