Care for Vandana, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Coimbatore
Vandana, 88, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $900 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India2,447 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Vandana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vandana 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.
Vandana 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 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $750
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Sita. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Leeds
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vandana!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Keep going, Sita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Sita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Coimbatore.
Thinking of you and your family, Sita. Looking forward to the next update.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Ribeirão Preto so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
