Care for Nao, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Kawasaki
Nao can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,350.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nao can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nao 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.
Nao 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
