Valerio wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Valerio stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a heart attack Valerio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Valerio desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Valerio worked all of his 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Valerio?

Hang in there, Roberta. This could happen to any of us. Love from Mumbai
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Catania.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Sukkur so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Roberta. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
