Dignity in old age: caring for Qiang
Help Qiang stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Dayton, Ohio, United States5,563 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a heart attack Qiang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Qiang 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.
Qiang worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490
With deep gratitude,
Ai
