Care for Omkar, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Jaipur

Omkar can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a heart attack Omkar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Omkar 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. Omkar worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $440 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
