Care for Nao, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Tokyo

Help Nao stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

Tokyo
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. 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 50 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 seamstress, and raised 2 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 $2,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $350 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Haruto
