Care for Farhana, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Mysuru
Help Farhana stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,767 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last November Farhana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Farhana 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.
Farhana worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Thank you for reading my story.
