I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Giang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Giang desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Giang worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Part-time carer (three months): $395

Sending strength, Toàn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
You're not alone, Toàn. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
wishing you peace, Toàn. Get well soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Duisburg.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Bang Khen.
Wishing you the best, Toàn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Tarkwa donated after I showed her your page. Love from Tarkwa
