I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a heart attack Shima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shima 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. Shima 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $420 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Nipa

Updates from Nipa

  1. Update from Cox's Bazar: the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $25 so far, I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
