I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last July Nattaya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nattaya 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. Nattaya worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,300 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Part-time carer (three months): $1,090 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lertchai

Updates from Lertchai

Update from Bangkok: the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. We're at 71% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
17% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
