I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last May Tae-yang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tae-yang 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-yang worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530
• Medication and prescriptions: $970
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Ha-joon. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you the best, Ha-joon. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Ha-joon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Greensboro so I could bring a meal
