Home care fund for Sơn in Sydney

Help Sơn stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

Sydney
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Sơn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sơn 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. Sơn worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $4,200 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $550 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Great help in a difficult time

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

  • Tomás N. Benítez🇦🇷Verified helper
    Amazing support system

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

  • Arif Mizanur Ahmed🇮🇳Verified helper
    Practical and effective help

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Exactly what I needed

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    keep going. Wishing Sơn a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Fresno.

    • Veronika Galina Romanov

      take care, Thanh. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

      • Rachel R. TaylorQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sơn

        • Thanh Hà TrinhOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($3,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

      • Abdoulaye Alassane Camara

        Rooting for you, Thanh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.

        • Ariana E. Morgan

          Take care, Thanh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Fort Worth this morning. All the best.

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rockford.
