I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Sunil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sunil 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. Sunil worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $4,950 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $450 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470 Glad we found this place. - Sita

Updates from Sita

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward part-time carer.

  2. Small update. $502 so far, the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.

  3. Quick update: $170 raised so far (3%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Hải Phòng but we're thinking of you.

    • Elijah H. Zimmerman

      Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Pittsburgh.

        Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal. All the best
