Ha-eun can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,600.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Ha-eun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ha-eun desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ha-eun worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $1,600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $660
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
Every share and every dollar helps.
