Home care fund for Tae-hoon in Busan
Tae-hoon can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,450.
🇰🇷 South Korea2,994 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Tae-hoon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tae-hoon 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.
Tae-hoon 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 $3,450 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $430
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,800
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tae-hoon.
Medication and prescriptions is $430 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending strength, So-yeon. Get well soon. Love from Newport.
wishing you the best, So-yeon. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Wishing you peace, So-yeon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Sending love. Wishing Tae-hoon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Take care, So-yeon. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Busan.
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kisumu.
Thinking of you and your family, So-yeon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Novosibirsk.
