Home care fund for Niluka in Kandy

Niluka can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Niluka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Niluka desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Niluka worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $430 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
