Gianna can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Gianna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gianna 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.
Gianna worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $850 goes:
โข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
โข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
โข Medication and prescriptions: $310
Thanks for being kind about this.

Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of London.
So sorry you're going through this, Gianna. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Thinking of London.
best of luck, Gianna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending love, Gianna. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
