Deepa can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $350.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Deepa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Deepa 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.
Deepa worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Part-time carer (three months): $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Ashok. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Katowice
