Vishal can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $450.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Vishal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vishal desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Vishal worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Suresh. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Suresh. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from San Diego
