Aravind can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Aravind can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aravind 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.
Aravind worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $710
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Uma
Update from Mumbai: the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($282). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
