Care for Satish, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Amritsar

Satish can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $500.

I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Satish can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Satish 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. Satish worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $300 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Glad we found this place. - Aarav

Updates from Aarav

  1. Small update. $131 so far, I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Aarav

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Satish.

      • Aarav F. SandhuOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (eight months), $300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
