I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After the death of his spouse Hậu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hậu desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Hậu worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Part-time carer (three months): $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Dung. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Santa Fe donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Dung. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
