Da Nang
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Liên can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Liên desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Liên worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $260 • Medication and prescriptions: $75 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Toàn

    Just checking in, how's it going?

    • Toàn NgoOwnerAnswer

      Better days than last week. Thank you all, a fuller update is coming. It helps to be asked.

  • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Toulouse

      Do you have the care agency's quote you could share with the moderators?

      • Toàn NgoOwnerAnswer

        Yes. It's with the moderators already, and I'll share a blurred copy here too. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Wishing you the best, Toàn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Da Nang.

      • Ingrid Luciana SouzaQuestionID verified

        Is it paid to the care agency directly?

        • Toàn NgoOwnerAnswer

          It comes to me first, then I pay the care agency myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Thanks for asking.

      • Emma H. GregoryPhoto verified

        Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best

        • What if it doesn't get fully funded?

          • Toàn NgoOwnerAnswer

            It all still gets used for what's on the list. If there's a gap I'll arrange payment terms. Thanks for looking so closely.

        • Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Strasbourg so I could bring a meal. Take care.
