Home care fund for Kiên in Hobart
Kiên cannot afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $2,550.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Kiên can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kiên desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kiên worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $2,550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,950
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
