I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Do-hyun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Do-hyun 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. Do-hyun worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $1,300 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $470 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490 With deep gratitude, Ye-jin
