Care for Isabel, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Calamba
Help Isabel stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Calamba, Laguna, Philippines1,140 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Isabel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabel 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.
Isabel worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Glad we found this place.

Quick update: $165 raised so far (22%). the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 21% funded and the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.
Update from Calamba: the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

thanks for sharing this, Bea. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Calamba.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Gondar donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Dodoma
