Shruthi wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Shruthi stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇳 India688 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Shruthi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shruthi 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.
Shruthi 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shruthi!
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (three months) is the big one at $310, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Blessings.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Wishing Shruthi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care!
hope it all works out, Ramesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
