I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Sachin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sachin 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.
Sachin worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you and your family, Sachin. This could happen to any of us. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Sachin. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mysuru.
wishing you the best, Sachin. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
this could happen to any of us. Love from Bristol
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Stockholm.
