Khang wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Khang stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 91. 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 50 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 bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $310
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $480
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,410
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Khang?
sending love. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Khang.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. medication and prescriptions is the biggest at $310. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon, Anh. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope it all works out, Anh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
