Home care fund for Aishwarya in Chennai

Aishwarya can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Aishwarya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aishwarya desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Aishwarya 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 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $490 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Paresh
