Kannan can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for me, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Kannan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kannan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kannan worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $640
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
Glad we found this place.
