Care for Jahid, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Thane
Jahid can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $600.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Jahid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jahid desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Jahid worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Part-time carer (six months): $465
Thanks for being kind about this.
