Care for Rahim, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Rohini
Help Rahim stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India1,534 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Rahim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rahim desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Rahim worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Part-time carer (six months): $530
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
