Hoàng can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $400.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Hoàng can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hoàng 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.
Hoàng worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $400 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Part-time carer (six months): $280
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($29 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Huy
