I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Vipul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vipul desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Vipul worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50

How is Vipul doing now?
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Take care.
You're not alone, Viral. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dwarka
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Dwarka
You're not alone, Viral. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
