Home care fund for Ravi in Thrissur
Ravi can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we're asking for $550.
🇮🇳 680950, Thrissur, Kerala, India1,401 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a stroke last September Ravi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ravi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ravi worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
With deep gratitude,
Nikhil
