Home care fund for Elena in Naples
Elena can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $2,100.
🇮🇹 Campania, Italy3,996 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Elena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elena 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.
Elena worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,590
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Gabriele. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
You're not alone, Gabriele. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Novosibirsk
Wishing you the best, Gabriele. This could happen to any of us. God bless
your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Naples
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriele. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Gabriele. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
