I'm caring for me, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Thành can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thành desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Thành worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $3,200 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $690 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thành?

      • Viral Bhatt

        Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Fort Collins

        • Farah Noor Gaber

          You're not alone, Thành. This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          • Daniel Samuel Omondi

            so sorry you're going through this, Thành. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out

            • Rhea M. Concepcion

              Sending strength, Thành. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal.
