Care for Bhavna, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Mumbai
Bhavna, 79, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India984 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a stroke last June Bhavna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bhavna 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.
Bhavna worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $530
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Glad we found this place.

stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
sending love, Myra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
hang in there. Wishing Bhavna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Heliopolis so I could bring a meal. All the best
