Kalyani wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Kalyani can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $550.

I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Kalyani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kalyani desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Kalyani worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
With deep gratitude,
Kalyani
