Care for Aarti, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Pune
Aarti, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $500 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,332 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Aarti can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarti desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Aarti worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Part-time carer (four months): $350
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($187 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
28% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
