Small update. $936 so far, I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
33% there. I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($326). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

Wishing you the best, Ki-tae. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yu-na
Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is $420 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Get well soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in St. Petersburg but we're thinking of you
sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Leicester.
Sending good thoughts, Ki-tae. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Take care, Ki-tae. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
