Dignity in old age: caring for Lovely
Lovely can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $950.

I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a stroke last March Lovely can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lovely desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lovely worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $860
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45

best of luck, Lovely. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lovely
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (six months), $860. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Quezon City
Wishing you the best, Lovely. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Colorado Springs.
You're not alone, Lovely. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Blessings
Hang in there, Lovely. Wishing Lovely a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Quezon City!
