Mukesh can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Mukesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mukesh 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.
Mukesh worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
Thank you for reading my story.
