Manila

I'm caring for me, who's 94. After a heart attack Hazel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hazel 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. Hazel worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $940 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Medication and prescriptions: $140 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Hazel

Quick update: $150 raised so far (13%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($150 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $105 so far, I made the first payment toward part-time carer. - Hazel
