Praveen cannot afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Praveen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Praveen 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.
Praveen 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 eight 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 (eight months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95

Good luck. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Jagadish. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Hope it all works out, Jagadish. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
