Toru wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Toru stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan4,801 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a stroke last June Toru can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Toru desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Toru worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $430
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440

Hang in there, Yoko. Get well soon. Love from Jakarta.
rooting for you, Yoko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Lapu-Lapu donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Good luck, Yoko. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Setagaya.
