After an unexpected staircase accident
A mother who can’t move her body
Soon-Rye Kim (58) suffers from ‘rickets’, which causes bone progress problems.However, a year ago, an unexpected accident in which he fell down the stairs changed his life entirely. After the accident, I was left unable too move at all from the neck down. Now I can’t lift even one arm on my own and can’t even drink a glass of water without help. Although the goverment sends an activity assistant for 4 hours a day, this is not enough time for Seongpil, who needs 24-hour care. After the activity assistant leaves work, I have to wait until my son Sang-yoon (35) comes home from work. Mr. Seong-pil’s discomfort and isolation are deepening day by day as he has to stay home alone with his stiff body.
For my mom’s hospital bills
My son goes to work every day using special crutches.
The son, Sang-yoon, is carefully taking care of his mother, who has become unable to move. Though, Sang-yoon also suffers from rickets like his mother and relies on special crutches for his life due to a car accident he suffered as a child. The pain in my legs and back is so severe that I always take a handful of painkillers to get through it. Sang-yoon, who became the head of the family after his parents divorced, has been working non-stop since he was 20 to make a living. Mr. Sang-yoon commutes to work every day by struggling to climb up and down the stairs in front of his house where his mother fell. Even with special crutches, he has to walk slowly due to severe pain in his back and legs. At work, they say they don’t even eat lunch because it’s too difficult to even go to the bathroom. Mr. Seong-pil is heartbroken because he thinks his son is suffering because of his illness.
A mother who has never been out of the house since being discharged from hospital.
Please help Mommy pyeongjae get healed!
Currently, even the hands that Mr. Seongyeong can move are becoming increasingly stiff. Even if I want to receive rehabilitation treatment, the debt I have accumulated due to cervical spine surgery last year has already reached tens of millions of won, so I cannot afford any more hospital expenses. In addition, I had to call an ambulance every time I went to the hospital, so I have not received any treatment since I was discharged last september, and my body became increasingly unable to move. With the help of the production crew, Seong-pil went to the hospital in an ambulance for the first time in months! The attending doctor says that the patient shoudl be re-hospitalized for treatment or, if hospitalization is difficult, receive continuous rehabilitation treatment. It is said that if you continue to be unable to move yoru body like this,complications may result in death. We ask for your interest and love so that Seongpil can pay for the hospital expenses and receive treatment comfortably.
