Mapo
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 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in The Hague but we're thinking of you. Take care.
