Care for Min-ji, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Gangnam
Min-ji can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,200.
🇰🇷 South Korea1,700 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Min-ji can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Min-ji 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.
Min-ji worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Min-ji?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about medication and prescriptions, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 27 people at work. Blessings.
any update on how things are going in Gangnam?
best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
Hang in there, Sung-min. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Praying for you, Sung-min. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
keep going, Sung-min. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Gangnam.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Min-ji.
Medication and prescriptions is $580 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts, Sung-min. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
stay strong. Get well soon. Take care.
Keep going. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
thinking of you and your family, Sung-min. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best!
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Thinking of Gangnam
Good luck, Sung-min. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Çankaya but we're thinking of you.
Good luck. Wishing Min-ji a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Greetings from Sydney.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
