Dignity in old age: caring for Neha
Neha, 79, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a stroke last June Neha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Neha 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.
Neha worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $560
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
With deep gratitude,
Umesh

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Neha.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (six months) comes first ($560) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Best of luck, Umesh. Hope the doctors have good news.
stay strong, Umesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
stay strong, Umesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Neha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
