Care for Ravi, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Aurangabad
Ravi can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $750.
🇮🇳 Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India2,461 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Ravi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ravi 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.
Ravi worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
• Part-time carer (four months): $620
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
Thank you for reading my story.
