Arif wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Arif can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $400.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,207 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Arif can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Arif desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Arif worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $400 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $240
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.
