I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a heart attack Naveen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Naveen 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. Naveen worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $600 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 Thank you for reading my story. - Naveen

Updates from Naveen

  1. Quick update: $471 raised so far (63%). I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Nagpur: the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($221). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

    Thinking of you and your family, Naveen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Rockford so I could bring a meal
