Dignity in old age: caring for Min
Min, 77, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Min can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Min desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Min worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,450
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $550
Glad we found this place.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Savar
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
