Dignity in old age: caring for Kunal
Kunal, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $200 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After the death of his spouse Kunal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kunal 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.
Kunal worked all of his life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope things get better soon, Vijay. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Lalitpur
Stay strong, Vijay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
