Vivaan, 84, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,000 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India489 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Vivaan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vivaan 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.
Vivaan worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $770
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

Sending strength, Tarun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Thane.
Take care. Wishing Vivaan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Mexicali donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Rooting for you, Tarun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
