Home care fund for Young-ho in Denver
Young-ho can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last June; we're asking for $5,600.
🇺🇸 United States2,883 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last June Young-ho can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Young-ho desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Young-ho worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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
• Medication and prescriptions: $830
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240
Every share and every dollar helps.
