I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a heart attack Min-seo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Min-seo desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Min-seo worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $370 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Do-yoon

  1. Quick update: $589 raised so far (15%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Seoul: I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Orlando!

    • Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Hang in there, Do-yoon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Leicester

        • Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jalandhar so I could bring a meal. Take care.

          • Sending good thoughts, Do-yoon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            • get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rohini

              • You're not alone, Do-yoon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

                • thinking of you and your family. Wishing Min-seo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
