I'm caring for me, who's 79. After the death of his spouse 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 shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $700 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $450 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kannan
