I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mohit can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mohit 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.
Mohit worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Part-time carer (four months): $320
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Ashok. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mohit?
Thank you. If you're in Kota I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care, Ashok. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kota.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Rajasthan. I'll ask around and let you know.
