Garima wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Garima stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇦🇺 Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia4,377 views
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a stroke last March Garima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Garima desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Garima 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 $5,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $860
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $680
Glad we found this place.

Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Garima
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (six months) is the biggest at $3,500. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going, Garima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta.
hope it all works out, Garima. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Sheffield.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Garima?
Take care, Garima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Garima. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
