Dignity in old age: caring for Yogita
Yogita, 75, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Yogita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yogita 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.
Yogita worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.
