Care for Janani, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Chennai
Help Janani stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India1,032 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a heart attack Janani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janani 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.
Janani worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
With deep gratitude,
Arun

how is Janani doing now?
Get well soon. We're a small family in Surakarta but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Chennai.
Hope it all works out, Arun. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning. All the best.
Sending strength, Arun. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 11 people at work. Take care.
