Care for Vindya, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Galle
Vindya can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $950.
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka1,567 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Vindya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vindya 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.
Vindya worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $710
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
