Care for Nipa, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Mumbai
Help Nipa stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India927 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Nipa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nipa 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.
Nipa worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Glad we found this place.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Haifa
Good luck, Emon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. All the best.
