Home care fund for Yash in Mumbai
Help Yash stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Yash can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yash 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.
Yash worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $800
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
With deep gratitude,
Sita

Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Tokyo
Hope things get better soon, Sita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mumbai.
Sending good thoughts, Sita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Get well soon. Love from Kisumu
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Brampton!
wishing you peace, Sita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Bacoor donated after I showed her your page.
