Ankit, 76, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $850 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a heart attack 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 40 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 farmer, and raised 5 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Glad we found this place.
