Home care fund for Prasad in Mumbai
Help Prasad stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India569 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a stroke last August Prasad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Prasad 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.
Prasad worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Janhavi
Quick update: $10 raised so far (2%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

Praying for you, Janhavi. Shared this with my family.
best of luck, Janhavi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Södertälje.
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Janhavi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
