Care for Vasiliki, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Athens

Vasiliki, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After the death of her spouse Vasiliki can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vasiliki desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Vasiliki worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nikos

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Vasiliki?

    • Nikos Stelios VasileiouOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Athens I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Diệp Dung Phan

    Praying for you, Nikos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

    • Manuela Carolina RibeiroQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vasiliki.

      • Nikos Stelios VasileiouOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($2,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

      Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you

      • Ximena Byrd

        Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal.

          Thinking of you, Nikos. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
