Suresh wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Suresh can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $500.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Suresh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Suresh 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.
Suresh worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Part-time carer (eight months): $380
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
