Kolkata

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a heart attack Mythili can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mythili 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. Mythili worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 Thanks for being kind about this.
