Care for Tamaki, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Yokohama

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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a heart attack Tamaki can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tamaki 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. Tamaki worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $2,650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $730 • Part-time carer (three months): $1,500 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420 If you're reading this, thank you.

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. medication and prescriptions comes first ($730) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
