Ilaria wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Ilaria stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy2,903 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last December Ilaria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ilaria 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.
Ilaria worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Raffaele. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Raffaele. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Muzaffarpur so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Raffaele. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
