Gun-woo, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $950 for a carer and medicines.
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea536 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a heart attack Gun-woo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gun-woo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Gun-woo worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $950 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Ha-joon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
wishing Gun-woo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Seoul.
Wishing you peace, Ha-joon. Hope you get there.
Sending strength, Ha-joon. Wishing Gun-woo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
