Home care fund for Kana in Kyoto

Kana can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $2,700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Kana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kana desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Kana worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,200 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 With deep gratitude, Haruka

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.

  3. Quick update: $169 raised so far (6%). I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
