Dignity in old age: caring for Nirali
Help Nirali stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India1,697 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last July Nirali can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nirali 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.
Nirali 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $730
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nirali
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (six months) is the big one at $730, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Snehal. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
