Anil can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Anil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anil desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Anil worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $630 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
