Home care fund for Manikandan in Mumbai
Manikandan can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $650.
🇮🇳 India2,106 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last August Manikandan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manikandan 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.
Manikandan 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Faisalabad.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manikandan.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Gujranwala.
How is Manikandan doing now?
so sorry you're going through this, Janani. Hope this works out for you. Love from Syracuse.
Hope things get better soon, Janani. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Mumbai.
Wishing you the best, Janani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Feira de Santana
