Uyên wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Uyên stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,023 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Uyên can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Uyên 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.
Uyên worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Bảo. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you. Love from Laredo.
Hope it all works out, Bảo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
