I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a heart attack Zhi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zhi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Zhi worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230

Sending strength, Jie. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Wishing Zhi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Mombasa.
Hope things get better soon, Jie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best.
You're not alone, Jie. Hope this works out for you.
