Care for Jenny, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Quezon City
Help Jenny stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Philippines443 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Jenny can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jenny desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Jenny worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Part-time carer (six months): $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
