Care for Michelle, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Pasig
Michelle can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $700.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines1,210 views
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Michelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Michelle 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.
Michelle worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $700 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
• Part-time carer (four months): $560
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Michelle. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 40 people at work. Take care!
