Home care fund for Yuma in Tokyo
Help Yuma stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇯🇵 Japan836 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Yuma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yuma desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Yuma worked all of his 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $235
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Mio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Tokyo
hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Aberdeen.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Yuma?
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 15 people at work
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tokyo
Good luck, Mio. Get well soon. Greetings from Hyderabad.
