Care for Eiji, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Kawasaki

Help Eiji stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Eiji can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eiji 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. Eiji worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $2,950 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230 Thank you so much.
