Care for Ananya, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Mangaluru
Help Ananya stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,153 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Ananya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ananya desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ananya worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $740
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mangaluru.
Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing Ananya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Hang in there, Uma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Mangaluru.
Good luck. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
