Dignity in old age: caring for Diệp
Help Diệp stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Vietnam939 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a heart attack Diệp can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Diệp 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.
Diệp worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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.
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 (three months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
With deep gratitude,
Hiền

Praying for you, Hiền. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Hiền. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
best of luck, Hiền. This could happen to any of us. Love from Nagpur.
