Vijay wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Vijay stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Vijay can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vijay 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.
Vijay worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Part-time carer (eight months): $320
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Jagadish
Wanted to say thank you properly. 82% funded and I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.
Update from Coimbatore: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 71% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
