Care for Mei, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Kitakyushu
Mei, 81, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,200 for a carer and medicines.
🇯🇵 Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan3,173 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Mei can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mei 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.
Mei worked all of her 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
