Care for Nusrat, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Sylhet
Nusrat, 76, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Nusrat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nusrat desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nusrat worked all of her life as a nurse, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
With deep gratitude,
Rafiq

Rooting for you, Rafiq. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Sylhet.
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Best of luck, Rafiq. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Sylhet.

Wishing you peace, Rafiq. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Amsterdam but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Stay strong, Rafiq. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck, Rafiq. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mannheim.
