Care for Rashmi, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Nagpur
Help Rashmi stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,550 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After the death of her spouse Rashmi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rashmi 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.
Rashmi worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $620
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

is part-time carer (three months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (three months) is the biggest at $620. Good question.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Aberdeen
