Dignity in old age: caring for Gabriele

Gabriele can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $4,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Gabriele can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriele desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Gabriele worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $4,100 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $3,500 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $460 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Elena

    Sending good thoughts. Wishing Gabriele a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Liverpool.

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

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.

            Wishing Gabriele a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
