Home care fund for Rashmi in Rajkot
Help Rashmi stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Gujarat, India2,090 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Rashmi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rashmi 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.
Rashmi worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
