Mukesh wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Mukesh stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mukesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mukesh 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.
Mukesh worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (eight months): $635
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Gwagwalada
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. After 28 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Glasgow.
Thanks for sharing this, Rajesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Quetta.
Stay strong, Rajesh. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
