Home care fund for Padma in Muzaffarpur
Padma can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $650.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India1,536 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Padma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Padma 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.
Padma worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $470
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Thank you for reading my story.
