I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Rungnapa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rungnapa 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. Rungnapa worked all of her 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $400 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Pornpimol

          Rooting for you, Pornpimol. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Narayanganj
