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.

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. - Buddhini
