Home care fund for Sunita in Birmingham
Help Sunita stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom3,077 views
I'm caring for me, who's 96. After the death of her spouse Sunita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sunita 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.
Sunita 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 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 $2,700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,890
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Sandton.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sunita?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about medication and prescriptions, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Sending love, Sunita. Hope you get there. God bless
how is Sunita doing now?
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Birmingham.
Best of luck. Wishing Sunita a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Nagoya
Take care, Sunita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
