Home care fund for Cristina in Brescia
Cristina can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $3,650.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy2,276 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Cristina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cristina 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.
Cristina worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $3,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Brescia.
Wishing you the best, Elisa. Wishing Cristina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Elisa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Brescia
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Kitakyushu but we're thinking of you
Good luck, Elisa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Toronto.
Praying for you. Get well soon. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
praying for you. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dammam.
