Care for Jomar, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Manila
Jomar can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack Jomar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jomar desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Jomar worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Southampton.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 36 people at work. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Uberlândia
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Ogbomosho.
