Home care fund for Hitesh in Mangaluru
Hitesh can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $900.
🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India1,522 views
I'm caring for me, who's 95. After the death of his spouse Hitesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hitesh 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.
Hitesh worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Part-time carer (six months): $675
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Marseille
