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

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Jae-won can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jae-won desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Jae-won worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, So-yeon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jae-won?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, So-yeon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jae-won.
It's all in the list in the story. mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is the big one at $360, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
Sending strength, So-yeon. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
wishing you the best, So-yeon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Mardan donated after I showed her your page.
