Loan wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Loan stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Vietnam1,485 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After the death of her spouse Loan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Loan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Loan worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Springfield but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family, Lan. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Lan. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
