Care for Dhanush, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Nagpur

Help Dhanush stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After the death of his spouse Dhanush can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dhanush 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. Dhanush worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $420 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 If you're reading this, thank you.

        Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. God bless

          Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dhanush?

            Thank you. If you're in Nagpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
