Krishna wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

Krishna can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $450.

I'm caring for me, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Krishna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Krishna 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. Krishna 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 $450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Part-time carer (eight months): $320 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Thinking of you and your family, Krishna. Wishing Krishna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!

      Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal. God bless.
