Care for Lavanya, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Vadodara
Help Lavanya stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Gujarat, India1,573 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Lavanya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lavanya 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.
Lavanya 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Part-time carer (three months): $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
