Latha can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $400.

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.

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
