Care for Lokesh, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Nizamabad
Lokesh cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we are asking for $600.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a stroke last September Lokesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lokesh 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.
Lokesh worked all of his life as a farmer, 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:
• Part-time carer (six months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Thank you so much.

Hope you get there. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lokesh
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (six months), $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace, Murugan. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up.
