I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a stroke last November Isaree can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isaree 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. Isaree worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $850 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $500 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 I hope life is good to you. - Busaba

Updates from Busaba

  1. Update from Bangkok: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 43% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $252 raised so far (30%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($177). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.

    sending good thoughts, Busaba. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

      Sending love, Busaba. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bangkok

        Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Bristol so I could bring a meal.
