Care for Mohan, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Pune

Help Mohan stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease 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 25 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 4 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 $850 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Part-time carer (six months): $775 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
