Home care fund for Manisha in Varanasi
Help Manisha stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India1,428 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Manisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manisha 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.
Manisha worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $620
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Manisha doing now?
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Varanasi.
Hang in there, Shivam. Shared this with my family.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
