Ravi wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Ravi, 76, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Ravi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ravi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ravi worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $660
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.
