Home care fund for Ji-ho in Busan
Help Ji-ho stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a stroke last June Ji-ho can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ji-ho desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ji-ho worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $2,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $415
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Ji-ho?
Thank you. If you're in Busan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ji-ho.
Part-time carer (six months) is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Thanks for sharing this, Do-yoon. Wishing Ji-ho a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Busan
Wishing you peace, Do-yoon. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
