Care for Nam, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Hanoi
Nam can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $550.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a heart attack Nam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nam desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Nam worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Part-time carer (six months): $395
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Salé.
Keep going, Nam. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Nam. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Love from Bogor.
wishing you peace, Nam. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Hanoi.
