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. - Shankar

      • 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.
