I'm caring for me, who's 94. After a stroke last May Divya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Divya 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. Divya worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Part-time carer (four months): $460 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nakuru.

    • Hang in there, Divya. It takes guts to ask. Well done

      • Hope it all works out, Divya. Hope you get there. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything

        • take care, Divya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings

          • Hope things get better soon, Divya. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Take care

            • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 35 people at work. All the best.

              • Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

                • Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you.

                  • Rooting for you, Divya. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nashik.
