I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Tae-yang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tae-yang desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Tae-yang worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Thinking of you, Tae-yang. Wishing Tae-yang a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Suwon.
Stay strong, Tae-yang. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
good luck, Tae-yang. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
