I'm caring for me, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Corazon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Corazon 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.
Corazon worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $800
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Taguig
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too.
Sending love, Corazon. Get well soon.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Corazon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Taguig.
Wishing you the best, Corazon. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Pune
rooting for you, Corazon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
