Care for Seung-woo, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Busan
Help Seung-woo stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇰🇷 Busan, South Korea3,605 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Seung-woo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Seung-woo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Seung-woo worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
