Bacolod

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After the death of her spouse Nicole can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicole 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. Nicole worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $480 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Angel. Shared this with my family. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bacolod.

hope things get better soon, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
