Shivam wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Shivam can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Shivam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shivam desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Shivam worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $760
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Aarav. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Aarav. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Maringá
