Aarav wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Aarav can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $3,950.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Aarav can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarav 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.
Aarav worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $670
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Ramesh. Wishing Aarav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Derry
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Ramesh. Hope you get there. Greetings from Olinda
