Wafa wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Wafa stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇹 Messina, Sicily, Italy2,304 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Wafa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wafa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Wafa worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $180
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
