Home care fund for Ronnie in Pasig
Ronnie, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $600 for a carer and medicines.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines417 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After the death of his spouse 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 30 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 carpenter, and raised 2 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.
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
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Part-time carer (three months): $470
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
