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.

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. - Jae-hyun
