Home care fund for Anita in Dwarka
Anita, 81, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $150 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Dwarka, Delhi, India551 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last August Anita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anita 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.
Anita worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Kavita. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 4 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Karachi
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Soweto.
