Care for Dinesh, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Salem
Dinesh can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $250.
🇮🇳 Salem, Tamil Nadu, India1,514 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Dinesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dinesh 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.
Dinesh 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 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 $250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
