Dignity in old age: caring for Emanuele
Emanuele can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack Emanuele can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emanuele 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.
Emanuele worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. Wishing Emanuele a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Envigado donated after I showed her your page. Love from Envigado
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Rome!
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Columbus this morning
Sending love, Giovanni. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
