Makoto wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

Help Makoto stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse Makoto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Makoto 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. Makoto worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $2,900 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $310 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $520 Thank you so much. - Daiki

            Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
