Ilaria wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Ilaria stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Salerno, Campania, Italy497 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After the death of her spouse 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 50 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $380
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $445
Thanks for reading all this.
