Dignity in old age: caring for Parth
Help Parth stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,009 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Parth can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Parth desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Parth worked all of his life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Hitesh. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending good thoughts, Hitesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
thinking of you and your family, Hitesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Cologne.
hope you get there. My neighbor in Rio de Janeiro donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kozhikode.
