Home care fund for Satish in Mumbai
Satish can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a stroke last July Satish can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Satish desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Satish worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $680
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mumbai.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Satish
Hope this works out for you. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Good luck, Yash. Your post was clear and honest.

I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Galle.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
Sending love, Yash. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
