I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Nandini can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nandini 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.
Nandini 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 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Nandini?
Stay strong, Saraswathi. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Howrah
