Asuka wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Asuka can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $700.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan1,934 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Asuka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Asuka desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Asuka worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Asuka doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Taiga. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bogra.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Asuka?
Thank you. If you're in Tokyo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there. Get well soon. Thinking of Tokyo.
Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Tokyo
wishing you the best, Taiga. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning. Take care.
