Home care fund for Rowena in Quezon City
Rowena can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Rowena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rowena desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rowena worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $810
• Medication and prescriptions: $170
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Allan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Quezon City.
So sorry you're going through this, Allan. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Brooklyn
