Hương wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Hương can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $550.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam702 views
I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Hương can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hương 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.
Hương worked all of her 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $380
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Hương. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
Thinking of you and your family, Hương. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hương.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($380) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
You're not alone, Hương. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together.
This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
