Remedios wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Remedios, 78, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Remedios can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Remedios desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Remedios 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $680 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  2. We're at 23% thanks to 9 of you. I made the first payment toward part-time carer. More news soon.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($119). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

    Take care, Jayson. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Quezon City.

      Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. All the best
