Care for Mariko, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Kawasaki
Mariko can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $900.
🇯🇵 Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan1,113 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Mariko can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mariko 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.
Mariko worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $900 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. Wishing Mariko a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
