I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Meseret can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meseret 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. Meseret 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 eight 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $580 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $75 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.

    • Thanks for sharing this, Konjit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Kanpur so I could bring a meal!
