Care for Yong-jun, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Incheon
Help Yong-jun stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇰🇷 Incheon, Incheon, South Korea3,077 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Yong-jun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yong-jun desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Yong-jun worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,850
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yong-jun.
Take care, Tae-hoon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Incheon.
Thinking of you, Tae-hoon. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Da Nang.
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Thinking of Incheon.
Hang in there, Tae-hoon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Incheon!
Hang in there, Tae-hoon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Tae-hoon. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Nagpur!
stay strong, Tae-hoon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Sending good thoughts, Tae-hoon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Surabaya
Keep going, Tae-hoon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together
