Home care fund for Tamaki in Tokyo
Help Tamaki stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇯🇵 Japan2,003 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tamaki can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tamaki 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.
Tamaki worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,050
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Daiki. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Patras
Good luck, Daiki. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

You're not alone, Daiki. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Dammam but we're thinking of you. God bless.
