Dignity in old age: caring for Châu
Help Châu stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Hải Phòng, Hải Phòng, Vietnam1,438 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last July Châu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Châu desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Châu worked all of her 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Wishing Châu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Thành. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from San Francisco
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Hải Phòng.
