Care for Ganga, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Pokhara
Ganga, 83, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $500 for a carer and medicines.
🇳🇵 Pokhara, Gandaki, Nepal1,010 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last May Ganga can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ganga desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ganga worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($183 in total) the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone, Sushila. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
