Care for Francis, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Caloocan
Help Francis stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,989 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse Francis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Francis desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Francis worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $760
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the doctors have good news. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dhaka.
Sending good thoughts, Victor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 29 people at work.
