Dignity in old age: caring for Long
Long can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Long can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Long desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Long worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Toàn. Hope this works out for you. Love from Duque de Caxias
Sending love, Toàn. Wishing Long a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Praying for you, Toàn. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Munich donated after I showed her your page
thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
