Haruto wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Help Haruto stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a stroke last August Haruto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haruto 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. Haruto worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,250 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $270 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $335 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
