Madhavi wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Madhavi stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇱🇰 Negombo, Western, Sri Lanka2,052 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Madhavi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Madhavi 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.
Madhavi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Part-time carer (four months): $760
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
