Kumari wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Kumari can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a heart attack Kumari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kumari 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.
Kumari worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $800 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Part-time carer (three months): $700
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Kumari. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
