Care for Farhana, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Cox's Bazar
Help Farhana stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh1,344 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Farhana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Farhana 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.
Farhana worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Sharmin. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you peace, Sharmin. Get well soon.
