Care for Remedios, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Iloilo City
Remedios can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $250.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines846 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Remedios can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Remedios desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Remedios worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
