Home care fund for Jun-seo in Seoul

Jun-seo can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last December; we're asking for $2,400.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last December Jun-seo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jun-seo 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. Jun-seo worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $2,400 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $610 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Eun-ji

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jun-seo.

        It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (six months) is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
