Cristina wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Cristina can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $2,050.
🇮🇹 Naples, Campania, Italy2,439 views
I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a heart attack Cristina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cristina 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.
Cristina worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is part-time carer (eight months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Part-time carer (eight months) is $1,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you, Cristina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Warsaw.
stay strong, Cristina. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
Any update on how things are going in Naples?
Praying for you, Cristina. Hope the doctors have good news
So sorry you're going through this, Cristina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Wishing you peace, Cristina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Entebbe
sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope March is when things finally get easier
your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
