Dignity in old age: caring for Noel
Noel can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last August Noel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Noel worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $840
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Rodel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon, Rodel. Shared this with my family. Take care
praying for you, Rodel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Lapu-Lapu.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
