Tejaswini wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

Tejaswini can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Tejaswini can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tejaswini 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. Tejaswini 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 eight 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $760 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 Thanks for being kind about this.
