Care for Shuvo, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Nottingham
Help Shuvo stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom3,342 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Shuvo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shuvo 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.
Shuvo worked all of his life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $575
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Tareq. Wishing Shuvo a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Ikeja.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Anaheim.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shuvo?
Thank you. If you're in Nottingham I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Tareq. Hope you get there
Thinking of you, Tareq. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kasarani but we're thinking of you
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from London
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Nottingham
