Care for Diệp, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Hồ Chí Minh City
Help Diệp stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam606 views
I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a heart attack Diệp can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Diệp 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.
Diệp worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Diệp
Update from Hồ Chí Minh City: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 9% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. More news soon.
