Vishal wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Vishal stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,042 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Vishal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vishal 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.
Vishal worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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:
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Sunil. Get well soon. Greetings from Guadalajara.
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Vishal?
Thank you. If you're in Salem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Take care, Sunil. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bogotá.
Sending good thoughts, Sunil. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. God bless
Best of luck, Sunil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Salem.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Salem.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
