Chiara wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

Chiara, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,550 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Chiara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chiara desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Chiara worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $2,550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $350 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Davide

Updates from Davide

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($495 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Campania. I'll ask around and let you know.
