Bacoor
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Marites can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marites desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Marites worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $320 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Liza

  • Wishing you peace, Liza. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

    • how is Marites doing now?

      • Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marites!

          • Liza J. RamirezOwnerAnswerAddress verified

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (six months) comes first ($320) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

        • Wishing Marites a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.

          • you're not alone, Liza. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Quezon City this morning. Thinking of Bacoor.

            • Praying for you. Wishing Marites a smooth procedure and a full recovery!

                Sending good thoughts, Liza. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.

                • Hope things get better soon, Liza. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

                  • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Kolkata but we're thinking of you. God bless
