Nicole wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Nicole stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines1,842 views
I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a heart attack Nicole can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicole 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.
Nicole worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Aurora so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Sending love, Nicole. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Tokyo
So sorry you're going through this, Nicole. Wishing Nicole a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
How is Nicole doing now?
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Grand Rapids
wishing you peace, Nicole. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nicole?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (six months), advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Lalitpur
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nicole.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (six months) comes first ($400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
