Makati
I'm caring for me, who's 87. After worsening Parkinson's disease Angelica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Angelica 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. Angelica worked all of her 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $900 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $640 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 Thank you for reading my story. - Angelica
