Care for Sangeetha, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Mumbai
Help Sangeetha stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a stroke last April 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 shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 (four months): $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
