I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a stroke last July Jung-ho can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jung-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.
Jung-ho worked all of his life as a nurse, 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 $3,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in The Hague but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Keep going, Jung-ho. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Mapo.
Wishing you peace, Jung-ho. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page!
Sending love, Jung-ho. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Polokwane.
Thanks for sharing this, Jung-ho. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours.
