Dignity in old age: caring for Hetal

Help Hetal stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After the death of her spouse Hetal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hetal desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Hetal worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Isha
