I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Isamu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isamu 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. Isamu 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230 • Medication and prescriptions: $660 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Megumi

      Thank you. If you're in Kobe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

    Praying for you. Wishing Isamu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
