I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Mohan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mohan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Mohan 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Part-time carer (six months): $465
I hope life is good to you.
- Lakshmi

Sending love, Lakshmi. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

Wishing you the best. Get well soon. We're a small family in Montréal but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Lakshmi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kolkata.
