Gangnam
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After the death of his spouse Do-yoon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Do-yoon 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. Do-yoon worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $3,200 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $410 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
