Isha wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Isha stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India1,507 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Isha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Isha worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Thanks for reading all this.
