I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Tarun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tarun 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. Tarun worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $200 goes: โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $85 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Tarun

        Thank you. If you're in Howrah I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Hang in there, Tarun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

      • stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Makati.

        • Best of luck, Tarun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • Thanks for sharing this, Tarun. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Jessore!
