I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Vani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vani 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.
Vani worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $700
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Vani
Update from Bengaluru: the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
