I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a heart attack Chae-won can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chae-won desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Chae-won worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $4,750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $540
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,750
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Min-ho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Min-ho. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Chattogram.
sending love, Min-ho. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Spokane.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
