Home care fund for Charmaine in Makati
Charmaine can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $650.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines1,511 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Charmaine can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Charmaine 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.
Charmaine worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Part-time carer (three months): $510
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
