Praveen wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Praveen stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,858 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Praveen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Praveen 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.
Praveen worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $820
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Kavitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
How is Praveen doing now?
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Celaya
So sorry you're going through this, Kavitha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
you're not alone, Kavitha. This could happen to any of us. Love from Bordeaux.
