Vy wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Vy stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States2,086 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Vy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vy 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.
Vy worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $640
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $620
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you, Bích. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you, Bích. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vy.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (six months) is the biggest at $3,700. Good question.
rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
