Care for Latha, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Salem
Latha can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $900.
🇮🇳 Salem, Tamil Nadu, India377 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a stroke last April Latha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Latha 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.
Latha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $730
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
