I'm caring for me, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Revathi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Revathi 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.
Revathi worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $620
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this, Revathi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Nizamabad
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family, Revathi. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
