Care for Jerome, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Makati

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a heart attack Jerome can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jerome desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Jerome worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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): $500 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
