I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Fabiana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fabiana 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.
Fabiana worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135
• Part-time carer (four months): $470
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Bianca. Hope the doctors have good news.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fabiana!
sending good thoughts, Bianca. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Oakland donated after I showed her your page.
Sending love. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you. Get well soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength, Bianca. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Warri so I could bring a meal
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Raleigh
