Care for Minh, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Cầu Giấy
Help Minh stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, Vietnam878 views
I'm caring for me, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Minh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Minh 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.
Minh worked all of his 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 three 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
