Mythili wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Mythili can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last July Mythili can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mythili 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.
Mythili worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Part-time carer (six months): $700
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Venkatesh. Hope the doctors have good news.
Best of luck, Venkatesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
