Victor, 94, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $300 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Victor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Victor 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.
Victor worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $300 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Rowena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Quezon City!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Quezon City
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Leeds.
