Daisuke can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Daisuke can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Daisuke 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.
Daisuke worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $4,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
Thank you so much.

thinking of you, Yuki. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Fukuoka.
Sending love. Wishing Daisuke a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Londrina so I could bring a meal. Take care.
how is Daisuke doing now?
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Best of luck, Yuki. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
hope things get better soon, Yuki. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Fukuoka.
Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Fukuoka
Wishing you peace, Yuki. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Praying for you, Yuki. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Yuki. Hope this works out for you. God bless
you're not alone, Yuki. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
