Care for Deepa, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Noida
Deepa can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $550.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a heart attack 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 25 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 farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Part-time carer (eight months): $330
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bonny.
Best of luck, Saraswathi. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Noida.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Alcalá de Henares donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Saraswathi. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Wishing you peace. Wishing Deepa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Munich this morning. All the best
