Care for Gaurav, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Nagpur
Help Gaurav stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India662 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Gaurav can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gaurav 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.
Gaurav worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Part-time carer (six months): $450
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love. Hope you get there. Greetings from Cebu City.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gaurav.
It's all in the list in the story. medication and prescriptions is the big one at $110, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out, Varun. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Nagpur.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. Blessings
