I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a stroke last July Harish can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Harish 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. Harish worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $200 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $50 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Glad we found this place.

  • will you pay the care agency directly?

    • Lavanya WarrierOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      I get the payout and then pay the care agency. Every payment goes in the updates. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • rooting for you, Lavanya. Hope you get there. God bless.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Harish.

      • Lavanya WarrierOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is hospital bed and mattress rental, $45. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

    • Hope it all works out, Lavanya. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.

      • Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
