Care for Sabina, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Narayanganj
Sabina can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $400.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a heart attack Sabina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sabina 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.
Sabina worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $400 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Part-time carer (eight months): $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sabina!
Medication and prescriptions is $110 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Tuhin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Narayanganj.
