I'm caring for me, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Supriya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Supriya desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Supriya worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Part-time carer (eight months): $630
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Supriya
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. mobility aids and bathroom adaptations comes first ($85) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

Take care, Supriya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. God bless.
