Dilani wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Dilani can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,050.
🇱🇰 Kandy, Central, Sri Lanka851 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Dilani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dilani 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.
Dilani worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $920
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Thank you so much.
