Kanokwan wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Kanokwan stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand2,200 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Kanokwan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kanokwan 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.
Kanokwan worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $960
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120

Good luck, Chanida. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kanokwan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (four months) comes first ($960) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Kanokwan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Mbale
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kampala.
Take care, Chanida. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Keep going, Chanida. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Nashik
stay strong. Get well soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Chanida. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Joliet!
Hope things get better soon, Chanida. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
