Ashok wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Ashok stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 British Columbia, Canada605 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a heart attack Ashok can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ashok 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.
Ashok 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 $850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $185
• Medication and prescriptions: $445
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Surrey
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out, Vihaan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
