Care for Keiko, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Tokyo
Keiko can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $4,150.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan2,432 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After the death of her spouse Keiko can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Keiko desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Keiko worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
With deep gratitude,
Noboru

Take care, Noboru. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Keiko?
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Kobe this morning. Blessings
You're not alone. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Abuja.
Sending strength, Noboru. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
