Care for Meena, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Thiruvananthapuram
Meena can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $750.
🇮🇳 Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India432 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Meena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meena 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.
Meena worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $660
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
With deep gratitude,
Anil

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (four months) is the biggest at $660. Happy to explain more.
Sending love, Anil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Antalya.
Hope things get better soon, Anil. Get well soon
Wishing Meena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Thiruvananthapuram
