Paolo wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Paolo, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $950 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Paolo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paolo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Paolo worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $680
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. God bless!
your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Quezon City.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
hope things get better soon, Teresita. Shared it with a few friends.
Stay strong. Wishing Paolo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. All the best.
Thinking of you, Teresita. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Colombo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
