I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a heart attack Ngân can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ngân desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ngân worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (four months): $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Ngân. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Take care, Ngân. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Medellín donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
you're not alone. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Toronto!
