I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a heart attack Meenakshi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meenakshi 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.
Meenakshi worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Part-time carer (six months): $495
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Çankaya
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Meenakshi!
Take care, Meenakshi. Your post was clear and honest. Love from San Diego.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Thane.
