I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After the death of her spouse Linh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Linh 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.
Linh worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

stay strong, Ngân. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Take care, Ngân. Get well soon. Greetings from Brooklyn.
