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. - Masud

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
