Amol can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $600.

I'm caring for me, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Amol can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amol 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.
Amol worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
I hope life is good to you.

This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pune.
