Dignity in old age: caring for Dinesh

Dinesh can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Dinesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dinesh 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. Dinesh 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $750 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $620 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 I hope life is good to you. - Dinesh
