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.

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 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mai

      Best of luck, Mai. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
