I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. 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 25 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 shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $400 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Part-time carer (four months): $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Glad we found this place. - Sneha

      Thanks for sharing this, Sneha. Shared this with my family. Love from Poitiers.

      • Rooting for you, Sneha. Hope the doctors have good news. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Nashik
