Home care fund for Latha in Bhopal

Latha, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Latha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Latha 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. Latha worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $610 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Srinivas

    sending strength, Srinivas. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

    • Yogita T. Naik

      you're not alone, Srinivas. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Quetta.

      • Jonathan Rowe

        Stay strong, Srinivas. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Alexandre Rafael Silva

          best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!

          • Rekha H. Thakur

            Thinking of you, Srinivas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kazan
