Care for Mousumi, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Tiruchirappalli
Help Mousumi stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world917 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Mousumi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mousumi 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.
Mousumi worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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:
• Part-time carer (three months): $240
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mousumi.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (three months) is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace, Omar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Rooting for you, Omar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
