I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Giulia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Giulia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Giulia worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $2,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Gabriella
Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($1,001). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $623 so far, I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Giulia?
Wishing Giulia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Dar es Salaam donated after I showed her your page!
gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best, Gabriella. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Keep going, Gabriella. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Gabriella. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Ibadan so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you, Gabriella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Augusta.
Stay strong, Gabriella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
