I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last June Shivam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shivam 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. Shivam worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $360 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $85 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Tanvi

Updates from Tanvi

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $10 so far, the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.
