I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Vũ can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vũ 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.
Vũ worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Trung. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck, Trung. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Love from Nagpur!
