I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last June Yến can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yến desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Yến 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 six 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 (six months): $840
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yến
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Love from Seville.
Sending good thoughts, Minh. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Lagos.
Wishing Yến a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending love, Minh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
