Dignity in old age: caring for Alok
Help Alok stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India590 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Alok can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alok 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.
Alok worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Part-time carer (four months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
