I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last February Kenta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kenta 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. Kenta worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,150 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 • Medication and prescriptions: $510 Thanks for reading all this. - Kouki

      You're not alone, Kouki. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Sapporo.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Kenta?

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (eight months), advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.

        Hope it all works out, Kouki. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

        • Delilah C. Sullivan

          best of luck, Kouki. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Gatineau this morning. All the best

            Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
