Dignity in old age: caring for Kazuo
Kazuo cannot afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we are asking for $3,900.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack Kazuo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kazuo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kazuo worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $3,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Kazuo doing now?
Sending strength, Himari. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. All the best
Good luck, Himari. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
