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.

  • so sorry you're going through this, Hitesh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
