I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After the death of his spouse Rohan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rohan 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. Rohan worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $4,800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $450 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • You're not alone, Ramesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

    • Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!

      • So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

        • Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning.

          • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Leeds!

            • Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

              • thinking of you, Ramesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

                • Best of luck, Ramesh. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Stockholm.

                  • Wishing you peace. Wishing Rohan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you

                    • wishing you peace, Ramesh. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning. God bless

                      • Best of luck, Ramesh. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

                        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

                          • take care, Ramesh. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
