Dignity in old age: caring for Maliha
Maliha, 79, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Maliha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maliha 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.
Maliha worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
• Medication and prescriptions: $470
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,570
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Dhaka
