Jabalpur
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Tarun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tarun desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Tarun worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $950 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $730 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $100 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Amit

  1. Quick update: $66 raised so far (7%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $70 so far, I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($104). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
