Giorgia wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Giorgia stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Veneto, Italy2,230 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a stroke last August 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 50 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,650
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Concetta. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Giorgia?
Thank you. If you're in Padua I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Best of luck, Concetta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Latina.
