Care for Nenita, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Caloocan
Nenita can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $200.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines275 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Nenita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nenita 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.
Nenita 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Caloocan.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nenita?
Thank you. If you're in Caloocan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Mark. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Mark. Hope the doctors have good news.
Best of luck, Mark. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Berlin
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Bangkok.
