I am always rejected because me and my grandma live in Manila Philippines. We are not from US. I am a solo family caregiver for my grandma, no help from family and friends. No caregiving organizations and no caregiving programs in the Philippines. I am unemployed. We can't hire a caregiver nor helper. We only get by due to small benefit of my grandma. I only wish to God for two things, be part of caregiving organization for online counseling emotional support and have a part-time job online. Sadly, US based caregiving orgs always reject me and my grandma because we don't reside in US. Caregiving has no race, boundaries, and not limited to nationalities. May anyone please help us. I am Charisse, 37 age. No help from family and friends and no help from community and Philippine government. My grandma is Mommy Ruby age 91. Please anyone accept us to be part of any caregiving orgs for emotional counseling online and emotional support. Please have a heart and mercy. I am suffering from caregiver burnout and fatigue and social isolation and exhaustion as I type this plea message. Thank you and God bless...

I will tell you though, the most important thing you can do right now, is do something nice, just for you. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive. It can just be going for a walk around your neighborhood, sit outside and read a good book, while grandma is resting, or invite a friend over for a simple meal. It's so important that you take care of you too, and not just your grandma. It's when we forget to make ourselves a priority, that burnout sets in. I wish you and your grandma the very best, and again, welcome to the Aging Care forum. May God bless you and keep you.
