Dignity in old age: caring for Haruka
Help Haruka stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Haruka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haruka desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Haruka worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,090
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
