I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After the death of his spouse Raghavan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raghavan 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. Raghavan worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $550 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Balaji

    Sending good thoughts, Balaji. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Take care!
