I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Kalpana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kalpana 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. Kalpana worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $460 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $95 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Wishing you peace. Wishing Kalpana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kalpana!

      • Part-time carer (four months) is $460 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • stay strong. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Take care.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Prakash. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
