Gennaro wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Gennaro stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy4,003 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Gennaro can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gennaro 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.
Gennaro worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $3,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $435
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Gennaro?
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Best of luck, Claudio. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Rome
Stay strong, Claudio. This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 4 people at work. Blessings.
