Home care fund for Omkar in Mumbai
Omkar can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $800.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,351 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Omkar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Omkar 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.
Omkar worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $560
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
