Mukesh wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Mukesh can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 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 six 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
With deep gratitude,
Akash
