Fukuoka

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease 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 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 $3,850 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $660 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 Thanks for being kind about this.
