Dignity in old age: caring for Harsh
Harsh can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last October; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a stroke last October Harsh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Harsh desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Harsh worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $860
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
