Care for Châu, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Hanoi
Châu can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $500.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam1,350 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last April Châu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Châu 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.
Châu worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
