Home care fund for Geetha in Rohini
Geetha, 83, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India833 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last June Geetha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Geetha 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.
Geetha worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
So sorry you're going through this, Chitra. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page.
thinking of you, Chitra. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Odesa so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Mandeville.
take care. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. God bless.

Rooting for you, Chitra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
