Hồ Chí Minh City
I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Hải can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hải 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. Hải worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $400 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
