Tejaswini wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Tejaswini can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture 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 50 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 farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Aishwarya. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Aishwarya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Toronto.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Amsterdam this morning. All the best.
Stay strong, Aishwarya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
