Care for Akash, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Lucknow

Akash can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we're asking for $400.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last September Akash can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Akash desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Akash worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $400 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yash

Updates from Yash

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $95 raised so far (24%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($330 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lucknow.

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (six months), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
