I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last August Harumi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Harumi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Harumi worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $340 • Part-time carer (four months): $3,100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 I hope life is good to you. - Yuto

Updates from Yuto

  1. Update from Tokyo: I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. We're at 58% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($875). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.
