I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a heart attack Xiang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Xiang 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. Xiang worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $6,100 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $4,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $550 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Xiang

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,543 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 11% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
