Home care fund for Francesca in Turin
Help Francesca stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a stroke last April Francesca can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Francesca desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Francesca worked all of her life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Turin.
You're not alone, Francesca. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing Francesca a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Turin.
Get well soon. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Francesca. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
