Care for Ji-woo, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Gangnam
Ji-woo, 77, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,550 for a carer and medicines.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea2,124 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Ji-woo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ji-woo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ji-woo worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $3,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,850
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Medication and prescriptions: $410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gangnam
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (four months), advice is welcome too.
