Takashi wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Takashi can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $5,100.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Takashi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Takashi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Takashi worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,950
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
