I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After the death of her spouse Tanvi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tanvi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Tanvi worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $650 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Part-time carer (three months): $530 Thank you so much.

                    Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Machakos.

                      Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Luxor this morning. Thinking of Lucknow.

                          Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
