Vivaan can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $500.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 bus driver, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
