Neelam wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Help Neelam stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a heart attack Neelam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Neelam desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Neelam worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $3,600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,050 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Ravi

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 70% funded and I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($1,288). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Neelam

    • Ravi M. SandhuOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (four months) comes first ($3,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Dinesh N. Bhat

    take care. Wishing Neelam a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
