Care for Mangesh, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Mumbai
Help Mangesh stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mangesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mangesh 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.
Mangesh worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Thank you so much.
