Care for Yash, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Auckland
Help Yash stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a heart attack Yash can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yash desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Yash worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $4,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $560
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Gaurav. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Yash a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Auckland!
