Noboru wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Noboru stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,260 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a heart attack Noboru can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noboru 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.
Noboru 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 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 $3,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
Thank you for reading my story.

praying for you, Akira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
