Komal wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Komal stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India1,434 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Komal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Komal 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.
Komal worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing Komal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Sheffield.
sending love, Sita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Rooting for you, Sita. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Narayanganj.
