Sneha wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Sneha, 76, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Sneha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sneha 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.
Sneha worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Vaishali. Get well soon. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Coimbatore.
