Thủy wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Thủy can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $3,350.

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a stroke last August Thủy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thủy desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Thủy worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $620
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Thủy?
Praying for you, Thủy. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thủy.
Part-time carer (three months) is $1,850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out, Thủy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
