Lapu-Lapu
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a heart attack Lovely can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lovely desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Lovely worked all of her life as a farmer, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $150 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 I hope life is good to you. - Romeo

        Keep going, Romeo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless

            Thinking of you and your family, Romeo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Salé.
