Home care fund for Yamuna in Udaipur
Help Yamuna stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Yamuna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yamuna 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.
Yamuna worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Udaipur.
Hope things get better soon, Swetha. Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
stay strong, Swetha. Hope you get there. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Riverside.
sending good thoughts, Swetha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted
