Home care fund for Ganesh in Mumbai
Ganesh, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $700 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a stroke last August Ganesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ganesh 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.
Ganesh worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Badagry.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Hope it all works out, Shankar. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
