I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a stroke last June Greyson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Greyson 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. Greyson worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $560 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Sending good thoughts, Nevaeh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

      Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Columbia.

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Columbia

        • Hope it all works out, Nevaeh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Columbia.
