I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Yoon-ah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yoon-ah desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Yoon-ah worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,400 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $2,550 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $370 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Seul-gi
