Yuto wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Yuto stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan4,117 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Yuto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yuto 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.
Yuto worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $5,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $590
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
