Mega, 77, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $400 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After the death of her spouse Mega can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mega 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.
Mega worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Mega?
Thank you. If you're in Bekasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bekasi.
Good luck, Agus. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bekasi.
