Care for Marites, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Quezon City

I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After the death of her spouse 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 30 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 schoolteacher, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Part-time carer (four months): $650 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 Thank you for reading my story. - Josefina
