Khang wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Khang stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,985 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Khang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khang desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Khang worked all of his 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Hương
Small update. $222 so far, I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
