Giorgia wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Giorgia stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Giorgia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Giorgia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Giorgia worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
If you're reading this, thank you.

keep going, Elena. Wishing Giorgia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
