Home care fund for Nanami in Kyoto
Nanami can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $4,300.

I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Nanami can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nanami desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nanami worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $4,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $600
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Nanami. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
