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

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Rahul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rahul 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.
Rahul worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Part-time carer (four months): $630
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
hope things get better soon, Naresh. Wishing Rahul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings!
Keep going. Wishing Rahul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Campinas this morning.
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
