Dignity in old age: caring for Tejal
Tejal can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $700.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India886 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Tejal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tejal 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.
Tejal worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Part-time carer (four months): $535
With deep gratitude,
Hitesh

is there anything that isn't money that would help Tejal?
So sorry you're going through this, Hitesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tejal!
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from São Paulo
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Rooting for you, Hitesh. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Stockholm so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
