Care for Tayyaba, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Rawalpindi
Tayyaba, 77, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $150 for a carer and medicines.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan954 views
I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Tayyaba can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tayyaba 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.
Tayyaba worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Tayyaba. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
