Home care fund for Vani in Cardiff
Help Vani stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom3,336 views
I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Vani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vani 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.
Vani worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Rooting for you, Vani. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
thinking of you. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Good luck, Vani. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
Hope it all works out, Vani. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
