Care for Zahid, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Rajshahi
Zahid, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $450 for a carer and medicines.
🇧🇩 Rajshahi, Bangladesh651 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Zahid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zahid desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Zahid worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
With deep gratitude,
Arif

Thinking of you and your family, Arif. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Lahore.
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Lagos.
Take care, Arif. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Jacksonville
