Home care fund for Ronnie in Manila
Ronnie, 79, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $250 for a carer and medicines.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines552 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a stroke last February Ronnie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ronnie desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ronnie worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $250 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
Thanks for reading all this.
