Home care fund for Neil in Taguig
Help Neil stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Neil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Neil 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.
Neil worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $880
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, John Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending strength, John Paul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Iloilo City
Wishing Neil a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings!
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Takoradi
