Care for Manit, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Bangkok
Manit cannot afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Manit can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manit desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Manit worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Part-time carer (six months): $905
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Anucha. Wishing Manit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manit.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. mobility aids and bathroom adaptations comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Wishing Manit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Üsküdar
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Ankara donated after I showed her your page.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Surakarta.
How is Manit doing now?
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bangkok.
stay strong, Anucha. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending strength, Anucha. Shared this with my family. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Latina.

Hang in there, Anucha. Wishing Manit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
