Ravi wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Ravi stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India661 views
I'm caring for me, who's 79. 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 seamstress, 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 $600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Part-time carer (six months): $470
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Glad we found this place.
