Mumbai

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Vasanthi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vasanthi 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. Vasanthi worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $250 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Thank you so much.
