Udari wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Udari, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,100 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Udari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Udari 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.
Udari worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $900
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you peace, Kavindi. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Bang Khen so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lahore.
