I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After the death of her spouse Rahma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rahma 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.
Rahma worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Nabil. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out, Nabil. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Sending love, Nabil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
good luck, Nabil. Wishing Rahma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
hope it all works out, Nabil. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
take care, Nabil. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Stay strong, Nabil. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
