Home care fund for Matteo in Rome
Help Matteo stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy756 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a stroke last April Matteo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Matteo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Matteo worked all of his 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
