I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last August Edoardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Edoardo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Edoardo worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $610
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,700
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared this with my family. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in New York donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Rome!
