Care for Bea, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Quezon City
Help Bea stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines432 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Bea can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bea 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.
Bea worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
With deep gratitude,
Lourdes
