Home care fund for Sumon in New Delhi
Help Sumon stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world876 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Sumon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sumon 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.
Sumon worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $480
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of New Delhi
Keep going. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Noman. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in İzmir this morning. All the best.
best of luck, Noman. Get well soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sumon?
