I'm caring for me, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Rabia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rabia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Rabia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $500 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $340 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you for reading my story. - Rabia

  • Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

    • Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!

      • Praying for you, Rabia. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. Blessings.
