Help Mihret stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 87. After a heart attack Mihret can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mihret desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Mihret worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Part-time carer (four months): $550
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Mihret. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Get well soon. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Mihret. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
take care, Mihret. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Bonny so I could bring a meal. All the best.
