Sangeetha cannot afford the care She needs after a stroke last December; we are asking for $750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a stroke last December Sangeetha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sangeetha desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sangeetha worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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: • Part-time carer (eight months): $620 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $10 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Murugan

Updates from Murugan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($767 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Mysuru: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.

    Stay strong, Murugan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.
