I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Ngọc can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ngọc 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.
Ngọc worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Part-time carer (three months): $400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Ngọc. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. Take care.
Sending strength. Get well soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City
