Maryam can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Maryam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maryam 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.
Maryam worked all of her life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
I hope life is good to you.

this could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cairo
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you
