I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Chanchai can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chanchai 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. Chanchai worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $640 • Medication and prescriptions: $180 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mongkol

    Rooting for you, Mongkol. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Haris Khalid Gill

      wishing you the best, Mongkol. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chanchai

            • Mongkol Kittisak OnsriOwnerAnswerAddress verified

              Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (eight months), $640. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

                Thank you. If you're in Nakhon Ratchasima I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
