Care for Carmela, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Iloilo City
Help Carmela stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines1,304 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Carmela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carmela 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.
Carmela worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Part-time carer (six months): $720
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Wishing Carmela a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Denpasar donated after I showed her your page.
