Care for Runa, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Dhaka
Help Runa stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh786 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Runa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Runa 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.
Runa worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $470
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Runa
This could happen to any of us. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Runa?
Thank you. If you're in Dhaka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
wishing you the best. Hope you get there. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Kampala!
how is Runa doing now?
Rooting for you, Popy. This could happen to any of us. Take care!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Dhaka!
Take care, Popy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning. Blessings.

Wishing Runa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
You're not alone, Popy. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ribeirão Preto so I could bring a meal.
