Hằng, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $200 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a stroke last January Hằng can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hằng desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hằng worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hằng
Hospital bed and mattress rental is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning. Greetings from Mandaue.
Wishing you peace, Phượng. Hope you get there
