Care for Deepa, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Kota
Deepa cannot afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Deepa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Deepa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Deepa 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Part-time carer (four months): $490
