I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Bích can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bích 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. Bích worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $780 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Huy

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

      • Huy Dương CaoOwnerAnswer

        Thank you. If you're in Da Nang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

    • Priya Salma Rahman

      Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Love from São Paulo.
