Deepika wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Deepika can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $850.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka2,490 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Deepika can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Deepika 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.
Deepika worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
I hope life is good to you.

how is Deepika doing now?
Hang in there, Hasini. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Hasini. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from A Coruña.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Deepika
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Nashik.
Thinking of you and your family, Hasini. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Colombo.
Thank you. If you're in Colombo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Tokyo.
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Colombo!
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Badagry.
Hope things get better soon, Hasini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Colombo
Hope it all works out, Hasini. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Hasini. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
