Dignity in old age: caring for Fumiko
Fumiko can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last July Fumiko can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fumiko 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.
Fumiko worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
