Goro can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $5,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Goro can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Goro 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.
Goro worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $5,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Noboru. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Good luck. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kawasaki!
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
