Dignity in old age: caring for Ayesha
Help Ayesha stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇵🇰 Pakistan1,574 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Ayesha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ayesha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ayesha worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope this works out for you. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless
Take care, Ahmed. Get well soon.
Wishing you the best, Ahmed. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ayesha.
Part-time carer (eight months) is $400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone, Ahmed. Wishing Ayesha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Take care, Ahmed. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Hyderabad
Best of luck, Ahmed. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Syracuse but we're thinking of you. God bless!
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
