I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Seung-hyun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Seung-hyun desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Seung-hyun worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $470 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $285 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Seung-hyun

            Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
