Home care fund for Kumari in Colombo
Help Kumari stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka767 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a heart attack Kumari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kumari 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.
Kumari worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Anoma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier.

You're not alone, Anoma. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bangkok
