I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a stroke last May Ankit can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ankit 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.
Ankit worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $3,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $365
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Southampton.
Thank you. If you're in Southampton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Southampton.
Sending strength, Ankit. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Mombasa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Southampton
keep going, Ankit. Shared it with a few friends
Sending good thoughts, Ankit. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
