Care for Neil, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Taguig
Help Neil stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines899 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Neil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Neil 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.
Neil worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $860
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Remedios. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Toulon.
